I tried to fix the issue with the Qubes Update following this
Continuing the discussion from Understanding "Qubes Updater" :
Upon reading this thread , I decided to run manually a full update (all templates + Dom0). To my surprise, Dom0 updated linux-firmware new: 20211216 old: 20200122, and linux-firmware-whence new: 20211216 old: 20200122, and many other updates. Does this mean that updates were available for 3 months, but the Qubes Updater failed to find that?
Also, is there a simple command to manually run Qubes Updater for all available templates + Do…
and
If I get it right I should just do this in dom0 to get it fixed:qubes-dom0-update --clean -y(y/N) - I confirmed with a y and the terminal returns:

Seems to be some bug after upgrading 4.0 to 4.1:
After removing kernel-devel, the dom0 update was successful.

### Brief summary
After upgrade from Qubes 4.0 to 4.1 an update of dom0 and templates returned the following warning and error:
[WARNING ] /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/salt/utils/files.py:396: RuntimeWarning:
line buffering (buffering=1) isn't supported in binary mode, the default buffer size will be used
[ERROR ] Failed to import module localemod, this is due most likely to a syntax error
### Steps to reproduce
Perform a version upgrade of Qubes from version 4.0 to 4.1 then either run Qubes Update from the menu or:
sudo qubesctl --show-output state.sls update.qubes-dom0
sudo qubesctl --show-output --skip-dom0 --targets=debian-10,whonix-gw-16,whonix-ws-16 state.sls update.qubes-vm
sudo qubesctl --show-output --skip-dom0 --targets=fedora-34,fedora-34-unt state.sls update.qubes-vm
### Expected behavior
Updates complete without error.
### Actual behavior

Well, neither the Qubes Updater nor the sudo qubes-dom0-update can fix it.
Try to remove the kernel-devel package and update again. In dom0 terminal:
sudo dnf remove kernel-devel

This looks good now. Let me reboot and see if the Qubes Updater works now.
Rebooted all looks good now.Qube Updater took three inruns to get all templates updated.@tzwcfq for your quick support!
