Qubes r4.2 repo missing kernel 6.18.26

ephile · May 12, 2026, 4:33pm

I’m unable to update any dom0 packages because the update thinks there is an available kernel update when none is available in the repo.

Searching for “6.18.26” comes up empty in the repo.
dom0 update thinks kernel version 6.18.26-2 is availalable, but fails to find the packages. Since I’m using the onion repo, it doesn’t actually try any other mirrors.

It’s present in the non-onion stable and testing repos, but for the onion mirror it’s only in the testing repo.

We have a Tor hidden service mirror, thanks to @Nukama. However, it has fallen w…oefully behind the updates to the canonical website. (As of this writing, most pages on it are inaccessible.) Is there any way to automate the task of keeping it up-to-date? If not, perhaps we shouldn't list it in the footer of the site (at least not without some sort of disclaimer). For reference, here's the URI: `http://qubesosmamapaxpa.onion/`

That’s the vm/ repo URL. dom0 uses host/

It seems to be in the current repo.
Perhaps some glitch with the mirroring, or perhaps natural mid mirror
hits?

I never presume to speak for the Qubes team.
When I comment in the Forum I speak for myself.
