I just built a rpm package (i3ipc-glib.rpm) in a fedora-37-xfce DispVM. I copied it to dom0. I tried to install the package several different ways and they all failed:
qubes-dom0-update
$ sudo qubes-dom0-update ./i3ipc-glib.rpm
Using sys-vpn as UpdateVM to download updates for Dom0; this may take some time...

This does not directly translate to a proper list of package to install, so I am unable to install the dependencies in a straightforward way, let alone any way yet.
salt
- Create the
userenvironment and directories
$ sudo qubesctl state.sls qubes.user_dirs
- Create a files directory to store the rpm file
$ sudo mkdir -p /srv/user_salt/files
$ sudo cp <path_to_rpm_file> /srv/user_salt/files
- Create an sls file to instruct salt to install the package (
/srv/user_salt/test_dom0.sls):
{% set files_dir = 'salt://' + tpldir + '/files' %}
{{ sls }}--install-local-package:
pkg.installed:
- sources:
- i3ipc-glib: {{ files_dir }}/i3ipc-glib.rpm
- Execute salt throught
qubesctl:
$ sudo qubesctl --show-output state.sls test_dom0 saltenv=user

DOM0 configuration failed, not continuing
qubes-dom0-update seems to search for ./i3ipc-glib.rpm in the update vm (in my case sys-vpn).
Questions:
- How can I install a local rpm package file in
dom0while automatically installing its dependencies as well?
