Can't Install Anything in Debian/Fedora Templates

Hi,

I was currently setting up my system with saltstack and after already successfully creating some templates & appvms I can’t install anything anymore in Debian & Fedora Packages.
in Fedora-41-xfce I get this error, when I try (as an example) to install tmux

Request refused
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/qvm-features-request", line 111, in <module>
sys.exit(main())
File "/usr/bin/qvm-features-request", line 102, in main
subprocess.check_call (
['qrexec-client-vm', 'dom0', 'qubes.FeaturesRequest'], stdin=devnull, stdout=devnull
File "/usr/lib64/python3.13/subprocess.py", line 421, in check_call raise CalledPRocessError(retcode, cmd) 
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['qrexec-client-vm', 'dom0', 'qubes.FeatureRequest']' returned non-zero exist status 126

It seems like only whonix is working fine at the moment. I checked if i did mess something up with my saltstack configuration but i cant find anything interesting.

Lol.If I add 50-ssh.policy to the directory /etc/qubes/policy.d/ with the following lines in it:

qubes.SshAgent * q-ssh q-split-ssh target=q-split-ssh

Then it doesn’t work, if i delete this file again everything works fine. I tested this a few times now, so the reason is really this file but i have no idea why?

Nevermind, the reason was that I forgot “ask”. The following is the correct config:

qubes.SshAgent * q-ssh q-split-ssh ask target=q-split-ssh
