A firmware download from lvfs is in cab format.

We can use the command "fwupdmgr install [--allow-reinstall] file.cab",
and a reboot to install it. [it could brick your computer, don't do it
unless you have someone to save you.

fwupd                                                            1.0.9-0ubuntu2
libfwupd2:amd64                                                  1.0.9-0ubuntu2 

There is not libfwupd2-dev package.

We can also use gcab to extract firmware.bin from the cab file. You need
to get guid from "fwupdate -l" and then command "fwupdate -a guid
firmware.bin" and a reboot can install it.

fwupdate                                                         12-3bionic2
fwupdate-signed                                                  
1.19bionic2+12-3bionic2
libfwup-dev:amd64                                                12-3bionic2
libfwup1:amd64                                                   12-3bionic2

As replace fwupdate-signed by fwupd-signed, we also need to make sure
the command "fwupdate -a guid firmware.bin" is compatiable with fwupd-
signed per what I understand.
