Package: fwupd
Version: 1.8.8-1
Severity: minor

Hi,

Since a recent upgrade, fwupd has changed it's compression scheme.
So please in a next upload include preinst/posting these two lines:

    rm -f /var/lib/fwupd/metadata/lvfs/metadata.xml.gz
    rm -f /var/lib/fwupd/metadata/lvfs/metadata.xml.gz.jcat

to keep systems clean of old stale data.

Greetings,
