Can't download packages in dom0

User Support
1

I installed Qubes 4.3. Updating templates works. But I can’t download a single package with “qubes-dom0-update --action=download PACKAGE” or “qubes-dom0-update --action=downloadonly PACKAGE”. I get:

No such command: download. Please use /usr/bin/dnf --help
It could be a DNF plugin command, but loading of plugins is currently disabled.

What is the problem here? Many thanks!

You should only need to run

sudo qubes-dom0-update <package>

This will install it though. I don’t know if there is a way to just download a package

sudo qubes-dom0-update --downloadonly ...

Puts the package in /var/lib/qubes/updates/rpm/ without installing.

I never presume to speak for the Qubes team.
When I comment in the Forum I speak for myself.

Good to know. I didn’t see it in the Qubes documentation, but as it seems to be a dnf feature, makes sense that it wasn’t specifically included.
