Minimal standalone not able to reach network (Debian 12)

I don’t know what that was. Syntax was fine. I had to shutdown anyway a few hours ago and the Updater dialog is now working fine again.

However, the update for the new qube doesn’t work:

This suggests that… What, exactly? The proxy is working but its just not reaching the servers? The qube has been added to the Qubes Updater machinery, but still can’t negotiate a network connection? Its pretty much exactly the same error I received when working on the commandline.

Do I need to load the networking package just to get any connectivity at all in a minimal qube?

Looks like I’m not the only one having issues, but I don’t like their solution for this. Also a not-very-informative reddit post on debian-11-minimal - “some” unspecified packages missing.

Might give up an use the full debian template.
