Details
Description:
The fwupd package does not contain any of fwupd's configuration files under /etc/fwupd in the backup array in its PKGBUILD. In the case that the user has a EFI System Partion mounted in a location other than /boot/efi, the user configures this in /etc/fwupd/uefi.conf, but an update to fwupd later overwrites this file, future updates available through fwupd will fail (fwupd uses the location /boot/efi as the default location for the EFI System Partition). Additional info: $ pacman -Qii fwupd Name : fwupd Version : 1.0.7-1 Description : A simple daemon to allow session software to update firmware Architecture : x86_64 URL : https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd Licenses : GPL2 Groups : None Provides : None Depends On : appstream-glib fwupdate colord python Optional Deps : None Required By : None Optional For : None Conflicts With : None Replaces : None Installed Size : 3.78 MiB Packager : Bruno Pagani <archange@archlinux.org> Build Date : Wed 09 May 2018 12:17:54 PM EDT Install Date : Wed 09 May 2018 08:34:38 PM EDT Install Reason : Explicitly installed Install Script : No Validated By : Signature Backup Files : (none) $ cat /etc/uefi.conf [uefi] # For fwupdate 10+ allow overriding # the compiled EFI system partition path OverrideESPMountPoint=/boot $ Steps to reproduce: nano /etc/fwupd/uefi.conf # make changes to the this file pacman -S fwupd cat /etc/fwupd/uefi.conf # observe that the changes were overwritten # if there are updates available through fwupdmgr and the ESP is not at /boot/efi and was properly configured in /etc/fwupd/uefi.conf pacman -S fwupd fwupdmgr refresh fwupdmgr update # fails -- it tries to copy files to the nonexistent directory /boot/efi/efi/ |

under Additional info `cat /etc/uefi.conf' should be `cat /etc/fwupd/uefi.conf'
under Steps to reproduce fwupdmgr install --allow-reinstall <file>.cab specifically gives this error (the same error I saw when first attempting to run fwupdmgr update):
UEFI firmware update failed: {error #0} libfwup.c:1501 get_fd_and_media_path(): failed to make /boot/efi/EFI/arch/fw: No such file or directory
