Hello,
I am trying to install archlinux templateVM. Install through Qubes Templates Manager gui went well. First update was a bit of a trouble, seems the initial build was a bit too old, so pacman -Syu didn’t work on the spot, I had to do the following:
pacman -Sy
pacman -S archlinux-keyring
pacman-key --populate
pacman -Su
Then first update was successful, even though I had some warnings/errors:
...
upgrading pacman-mirrorlist
warning: /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist installed as /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew
upgrading pacman
warning: /etc/makepkg.conf.d/rust.conf installed as /etc/makepkg.conf.d/rust.conf.pacnew
warning: /etc/pacman.conf installed as /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew
...
upgrading qubes-vm-core

SELINUX not enabled on archlinux. skipped.
Created symlink '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@tty1.service' -> '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service'.
...
But after that, I can no longer update my system:
pacman -Sy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
qubes-r4.2-current.db failed to download
error: failed retrieving file 'qubes-r4.2-current.db' from archlinux.qubes-os.org : Could not resolve host: archlinux.qubes-os.org
warning: fatal error from archlinux.qubes-os.org, skipping for the remainder of this transaction
error: failed to synchronize all databases (invalid url for server)
I thought the update messed with the updates proxy, however if I try to update from Qubes Update gui, it seems to work:
Updating archlinux
Refreshing package info
:: Synchronizing package databases...
qubes-r4.2-current downloading...
core downloading...
extra downloading...
multilib downloading...
:: Starting full system upgrade...
there is nothing to do
Installed packages:
None

I tried to look into updates proxy status and .conf files, but I don’t know much about it, so I don’t really know where to look…
