PluginFlag:failed open

At startup fwupd loads plugins, which in turn load shared libraries. If the plugin startup fails, a message is shown with a link to this page.
The WARNING: Plugin dependencies missing warning is shown when a plugin failed to open. This probably happened because the plugin could not load required shared libraries due to a distribution misconfiguration, or where users have manually removed required system libraries.
You can debug this further running /usr/libexec/fwupd/fwupd --verbose on the command line and reading the warning when the libraries are loaded. For instance, init(/usr/lib64/fwupd-plugins-3/libfu_plugin_synaptics_rmi.so): failed as /usr/lib64/libhogweed.so.5 not found
