[Bug 2132145] Re: "fwupdmgr update" silently fails to make any update

[Mario Limonciello]

Fwupd has the ability to show the warning you want already. The OEM just
needs to add "display-required" flag to th metadata for the update.

Like I said. This is not a fwupd bug. You can raise an issue with Dell
to modify their metadata for the affected release. Fwupd needs a hint to
know this though.

It is supported in fwupd 1.9.6 or newer.
