Hi there,
looking into the same issues on multiple Bullseye systems,
I can confirm the cause to be an incorrect /etc/nsswitch.conf.
After fixing that I had to reboot for the fix to work,
I guess restarting some systemd or dbus service would have done the
trick as well.
Now for a proper fix: IMHO fwupd should either depend on libnss-systemd
or disable the refresh service and timer in postinst if this recommended
package is not present.
Best wishes
Philipp Huebner
