This might be an easy issue… But i get this error, and i think it’s because i tried to install librewolf but had some error… not sure. i did also clone a qube but that might not be it. How do i fix this?

$ sudo apt-get update

If your internet connection is fine, wait a bit and try again later.

Thanks, but no it has to do with that i manually picked bullseye here maybe?

distro=$(if echo " bullseye focal impish jammy uma una " | grep -q " $(lsb_release -sc) "; then echo $(lsb_release -sc); else echo focal; fi)

You haven’t said, and no one has asked you.
Do you only get this error in the template where you installed
librewolf. Are your other templates updating fine?
That fragment of code you quote couldn’t affect the standard repository
definitions.

I just need to clean something i added that’s all. Can someone answer to why there are no signatures in fedora? Debian seems better… Maybe someone forgot to sign and uploaded?

The Fedora error is because you have gpgcheck enabled in the Fedora repo
definition, but fedora packages are not signed. Those are all from the
same repository, which makes me wonder if the gpgcheck is not
appropriate there. (I don’t know, but I wonder.)

With the Debian issue, its strange. If your other updates are working
properly then obviously the connection at the proxy is fine, and it
doesn’t look as if there’s anything wrong with the definition -
https://deb.debian.org/ is standard stuff.

Can you confirm that the only change you made was that librewolf repo?

For the past month or so I’ve seen a similar error involving the failure to update the InRelease file when I update any of my Debian templates, on multiple machines. Since I update via sys-whonix (using the .onion repos), I’m accustomed to update failures like this from time to time and a second, or third, attempt is usually sufficient to successfully complete the update. The difference is that the errors now seem to be happening more consistently and always involving the InRelease file. However, most packages update fine on the first attempt despite the error.

For example:

Updating whonix-ws-16

Error on updating whonix-ws-16: Command '['sudo', 'qubesctl', '--skip-dom0', '--targets=whonix-ws-16', '--show-output', 'state.sls', 'update.qubes-vm']' returned non-zero exit status 20
whonix-ws-16:
  ----------
            ID: update

        Result: False
       Comment: E: Release file for tor+https://fasttrack.debian.net/debian/dists/bullseye-fasttrack/InRelease is not valid yet (invalid for another 48s). Updates for this repository will not be applied.

Unless this has changed recently, I believe Fedora packages are signed, while Fedora repos are not.

Indeed, they should be, but apparently these are not.

ok thanks for your answers… I read this a bit late. I fixed the issue last time… I prefer debian over fedora by the way.

See this post: How do i update whonix-gs and ws-16 in Qubes 4.1? And which template should i have when using debian as default? - #25 by adrelanos
