Issue/Bug Description:

With the latest version of KDE Neon User Edition, Discover (KDEs GUI Packaging Application) can't be installed:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 plasma-discover : Depends: libfwupd2 (>= 1.5.7) but 1.4.5-1pop0~1611677200~20.04~aaada71~dev is to be installed

It depends on a newer version of libfwupd2 than what ships with the system76-driver package. Would you consider updating your dependency on libfwupd2 to help alleviate this issue?

Steps to reproduce (if you know):

• Install KDE Neon User Edition and ensure all packages are up to date
• Execute:

  sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:system76-dev/stable
  sudo apt update
  sudo apt install system76-driver

• Note that Discover is uninstalled

Expected behavior:

Discover remains installed
