    Hello.

    I can confirm that upgrading fwupd and libfwupd2 on Trixie to 1.9.14-1
    and installing the package maintainer's version of /etc/fwupd/fwupd.conf allowed the fwupd status to start:

    I kept fwupd at 1.9.11-1 since this bug was reported, but the new
    version seems to be in the clear.

    Best.
