Hello all,

As a user, I am trying to update the UEFI bios on my Lenovo laptop using
fwupd package's fwupdate command so that I don't have to use some other OS
or USB key drive, etc. I acknowledge this laptop requires a non-free kernel
already but in case that is not the main factor, here my output log:

sudo fwupdate -a e20bafd3-9914-4f4f-9537-3129e090eb3c ./EECN40WW.cap
--verbose

I asked on IRC beginning here:
https://logs.guix.gnu.org/guix/2022-12-18.log#142657

A cursory look by nckx revealed there might be packaging concerns (if I'm
understanding correctly). So, with their motivation, I'm filing this report.

Thanks,
Charlie
