[Bug 2121472] [NEW] unsupported fwupd version on 22.04 makes firmware updating impossible

[Mind Booster Noori]

Public bug reported:

I am a victim (and apparently far from being alone) of this upstream
situation: https://github.com/fwupd/firmware-lenovo/issues/518

However, according to that bug report:


> >    runtime org.freedesktop.fwupd 1.7.9
> 
> This is now end of life I'm afraid: https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/blob/main/SECURITY.md#supported-versions
> 
> You should nag Ubuntu to upgrade the package to something that gets updates. Sorry that's not more helpful.

So... here am I, "nagging Ubuntu to upgrade the package". Since Ubuntu
22.04 is still under Long Term Support, I expect I should be able to
keep using the system to do the necessary firmware updates.
