 +==== Fix fwupd-refresh.service ==== 
 +I'm not sure why but after a recent install of Debian sid, the //fwupd-refresh.service// was failing to run with an error. Further investigation shows the service is configured to run as the //fwupd-refresh// user which was not found in /etc/passwd. 
 +<code> 
 +$ cat fwupd-refresh.service  
 +[Unit] 
 +Description=Refresh fwupd metadata and update motd 
 +Documentation=man:fwupdmgr(1) 
 +Wants=network-online.target 
 +After=network-online.target

 +[Service] 
 +Type=oneshot

 +DynamicUser=yes 
 +StandardError=null 
 +ProtectSystem=strict

 +ProtectKernelModules=yes 
 +ProtectControlGroups=yes 
 +RestrictRealtime=yes 
 +SuccessExitStatus=2 
 +ExecStart=/usr/bin/fwupdmgr refresh 
 +</code> 
 +This user should have been created when the package was installed per this [[https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/commit/e90b04d7319874db36c06245ab07858589ce8bc8|bug commit]]. Once this user was added, the service now runs without issue: 
 +<code> 
 +$ sudo adduser --quiet --system --group --no-create-home --home /run/systemd --gecos "fwupd-refresh user" fwupd-refresh</code>
