Title:
  fwupdmgr refresh fails due to invalid signature in 18.04

Status in fwupd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in fwupd source package in Bionic:
  New

Bug description:
  [Summary]
  Due to the upstream bug[0], fwupd in 18.04 (1.2.14-0~18.04.2) is still suffering from the symptom.

  And even Mario says so [1] "If you continue to encounter it on 1.3.x
  and earlier please try again in a few minutes.", but actually it's not
  "a few minutes thing", when this symptom happened, it might take days
  to recover.

  So I am seeking the possibility to backport the patch [2] to bionic,
  since this will block ODM factory flow for days if they face this
  issue.

  [Steps to reproduce]
  1. Install stock ubuntu 18.04
  2. Boot to desktop
  3. run command "fwupdmgr refresh"
