Description:
fwupd 1.3.6-1 is missing udisks2 as an (optional) dependency.

Additional info:
Today I updated a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (4th gen.) using fwupdmgr.
Upon attempting to install an EFI firmware update, there was an error like

GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.UDisks2 was not provided by any .service files

This is from memory, since I don't have the output available any longer.
After installing udisks2, the update succeeded.
Maybe somebody with available updates can reproduce the issue and provide a more detailed analysis.

Steps to reproduce:
Cannot reproduce at the moment due to lack of available updates.
This task depends upon

Can confirm I got the same error (Thinkpad X1 Carbon, 4th gen) and installing udisks2 fixes it.

This is because you don’t have your ESP mounted or to a strange point apparently: https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/pull/1406. Asking upstream whether we should make this a dependency.

Mine is mounted to /boot, I was under the impression this was the recommended method. Bruno, could you clarify?

Ditto. This is necessary as I am using EFISTUB to boot. And as recommended in this scenario in the official documentation, I have a directory /EFI on the EFI partition for fwupd to function properly: https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/blob/c73c02fa7073ec4612542096d597f3a82238cecd/plugins/uefi/fu-uefi-common.c#L313-L314

Hum strange, but anyway upstream is unsure about which cases require this dependency and would prefer it to be mandatory for anyone wanting uefi support, so we will mark it as optdep accordingly.
