Here’s the error I get after upgrading 4.2 to 4.3 RC2. Any tips on how I resolve this? --skip-broken doesn’t help.

Same thing as Error updating from Qubes OS 4.2 to Qubes OS 4.3 rc 2 ?

Thank you, I did not get this error during the upgrade, only after the upgrade did I try to just a normal update and got the error. Everything seems to be running fine.

I had a similar error, also involving breeze-icon-theme, which seems to be part of the KDE environment.

I could fix it on my system by removing breeze-icon-theme. This had the side effect of destroying KDE, but after reinstalling KDE, the system now upgrades dom0without error.

I may give that a try. Thanks.

That fixed it, thanks!
