[Bug 1983257] [NEW] Severe bug in running as user vs root

[Ian Kumlien]

Public bug reported:

So, the version shipped in focal does the wrong thing when generating
hwids but only when started as root.

Installing the snap from the maintainer fixes the issue, so I assume
that this is a well known bug.

Please BUMP the version in focal ASAP.
