Yup, I meant 1.3.9-2 . Interestingly, I got the following when trying
to purge fwupd -
$ sudo aptitude purge fwupd fwupd-amd64-signed libflashrom1 libftdi1-2
libfwupdplugin1 -y
The following packages will be REMOVED:
fwupd{p} fwupd-amd64-signed{pu} libflashrom1{pu} libftdi1-2{pu}
libfwupdplugin1{pu}
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 5 to remove and 9 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 6,853 kB will be freed.

While I manually removed /var/lib/fwupd/ entries and sub-directories I
am/was unsure about the contents of /var/cache/app-info/cache/ so left
them as they are.
/var/cache/app-info/cache$ ls -lh

This time when installing fwupd adequate didn't tell anything which
means there is still an issue when you try to upgrade from the old
version to the new but NO issue when you install it afresh.
