Dom0 Updates Fail After Crash

User Support

The Qubes install on my laptop got interrupted (I think it was just a random crash) during an update, and since then dom0 updates have consistently failed. I have tried creating a new update qube for dom0, and even downloading a fresh fedora-35 template to use for the update qube, but I still get the following error:

Any thoughts on how to fix it? I’m running version 4.1.

In desperation, I ran qubes-dom0-update directly. It looks like everything downloaded correctly, but then I get this message:

The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction.
You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'.
