OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
Starting with 6.5, Discover will now show an error message on launch if fwupd
is disabled, and it will be unable to check for new updates from other
backends.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE

2. Launch Discover
OBSERVED RESULT
The following error is given: "The name org.freedesktop.fwupd was not provided

See full logs below.
EXPECTED RESULT
Discover should be able to ignore the fwupd backend if missing, and still use
the other backends.
