El culpable parece ser una llamada a QueryVariableInfo(), que no utilizamos para llamar a m\u00e1quinas Apple x86 en el pasado, ya que recientemente se actualizaron del firmware EFI v1.10 al firmware EFI v2.40, y QueryVariableInfo() (junto con con UpdateCapsule() et al) se agreg\u00f3 en EFI v2.00. El \u00fanico servicio de tiempo de ejecuci\u00f3n introducido en EFI v2.00 que realmente usamos en Linux es QueryVariableInfo(), ya que los basados en c\u00e1psulas son opcionales y generalmente no se usan en tiempo de ejecuci\u00f3n (toda la infraestructura de actualizaci\u00f3n de firmware LVFS/fwupd utiliza programas EFI auxiliares que invocan la c\u00e1psula). actualizar en el momento del arranque, no en el tiempo de ejecuci\u00f3n) y, en primer lugar, no lo implementan las m\u00e1quinas Apple.
