ERROR : Selection stable,nvme0n1p3 is not allowed, rejected !

While the manual update via

swupdate -v -k /usr/lib/swupdate/swupdate-pub.pem -i update-rt_0.1.swu -e "stable,nvme0n1p3"

works just fine, the automatically triggered USB update does not work. As I have to point out the inactive partition I must invoke swupdate-client with -e like this:

swupdate-client -v /mnt/*.swu -e "stable,nvme0n1p3"

The log tells me

ERROR : Selection stable,nvme0n1p3 is not allowed, rejected !

which I don't understand, as it works via swupdate directly. What is wrong here?

Okay, turns out swupdate has to be started explicitly with "--accepted-select <software>,<mode>".
