Fwupd fails to update Dell firmware

I’m trying to update my Dell UEFI firmware through fwupd, but it fails with the following message when trying to uncompress the firmware package:

FuEngine             could not add metadata for dell: no plugin dell found
(...)
/run/media/root/ANACONDA does not have sufficient space, required 50,3 MB, got 475,1 kB

What could it be?

How much space is left on /boot/efi? It’s just a wild guess, but I remember reading something about Fedora plans to go with a larger EFI partition in the future, because it would be used for firmware updates and smaller ones could lead to problems. But - like I said - just a guess.

My /boot/efi partition has 600MB, with only 22MB used at the moment.
