It's in the firmware category, i.e. it comes from LVFS. It's neither a Flatpak nor a DEB/RPM/... package. Many of these, I believe are actually
exefiles for DOS (happy to be corrected on this, it's a while since I last read Richard Hughes's blog).Iirc, GNOME Software is plug-in-based and the Flatpak plug-in is just one of the plug-ins.
So
fwupdmgrtakes care of this on the command line?I think GNOME Software uses some
fwupdlibrary rather than the straight-up command-linefwupdmgr, but yeah, basically.At least the Debian package depends on both, the library
libfwupd2andfwupd. Sofwupdmgrshould be present too (depending on how the used distribution handles these dependencies).
