Fedora-32 Update Error

User Support

Hi, I’ve started to get an error when updating Fedora-32 through the updater. It has worked well until now. I am running Qubes 4.0

I am able to update it manually by giving the app-template a connection and then running dnf update, but I would prefer that updates are manged via the updater.

This is the error I’m getting, can someone help me?

@JustAnotherQubesUser
This is a known issue which has a fix in the testing repo, soon to be released to stable afaik.
Have a look at this link for reference:

Solution is to open your template VM (see last comment on above link) and run:
sudo dnf update -y --refresh --enablerepo=qubes-vm-*-current-testing qubes-mgmt-salt-vm-connector
