Dear Maintainer,

fwupd does not work on my system anymore.  Here is the error when
executing fwupdmgr update:

/usr/libexec/fwupd/efi/fwupdx64.efi and
/usr/libexec/fwupd/efi/fwupdx64.efi.signed cannot be found

The update had always worked until a few weeks ago.  I do not remember
when exactly I updated my system the last time, so I do not know exactly
the recent version which introduced the problem for me.  Tell me if you
need me to check the last versions to see which one precisely exhibits
the problem.

Thank you,
Eugen

It looks like this is due to the migration of the efi capsule out to the
virtual packages fwupd-signed and fwupd-unsigned. Installing one should fix
the problem, but this bug should remain open to fix the underlying
Recommends’ bug.--

Indeed, installing fwupd-signed fixes the problem, thank you.

They're already marked Recommends.  I'm not sure what else can be done to ensure they get installed.
