I'm tracking testing and with my most recent update I started getting
the nag to update the Secure Boot dbx. When I click the graphical
'update' button it appears to update something, but the update button
remains as if nothing changed.
I'm posting here because I don't know if this is a bug or what
facility I would even file a bug report against.

Some firmware updates, including DBX updates, are distributed via a
different service than apt: fwupd. The fwupdmgr program provides a command-line interface; the most helpful commands are probably
"fwupdmgr get-updates" (get list of updates, i.e., equivalent to "apt update"), "fwupdmgr update" (install updates) and "fwupdmgr get-
history" (history of installed firmware updates).

The system logs might also show what the graphical update tries to
install or why it might fail.

If the graphical interface (which one?) doesn't manage to
successfully
install the update or still offers the update even though it was
installed, then that is probably a bug.
