Aloha all

After finally upgrading fedora template from 34 to 37, i was prompted to update newly installed and created templates. 2 out of 6 updates failed. Any idea why and how to resolve this issue?

Note: I modified your post, just a preformat on the update failure text output.

You choose the very complex way to update your template. The very simple way is to download a new fedora-37 template with qvm-template-ui…

See the official doc : templates/fedora/#upgrading

I actually did it the easy/recommended way as suggested by qubes docs. I tried to “reinstall template” according to your above link and still not able to upgrade. any other suggestions?

It’s difficult to help you if you don’t give details and error messages…

I pasted the errors above in itial thread. I get 2 fails out of 6 updates. I also deleted and re installed ffedora 37 still recieving the same failed updates. I am currently using fedora 34

This bug: Fedora 37 fails to update via salt. · Issue #7891 · QubesOS/qubes-issues · GitHub

A package containing a workaround for that bug has already been shipped to the stable repository, so please run sudo dnf update --refresh directly in your fc37 template. Then the update via Qubes Manager should work.
