When updating Qubes with the “Qubes Updater” I get the following error for all templates.

Updating <TEMPLATE>

    Error on updating <TEMPLATE>: Command '['sudo', 'qubesctl', '--skip-dom0', '--targets=whonix-ws-15', '--show-output', 'state.sls', 'update.qubes-vm']' returned non-zero exit status 20

I have the same issue and updated all template vms manually.
Then on new updates the same error still exists, i also updated then with current-testing, now i still get the info of new updated but when i try to update i still get the same error as listed above…

I think this is now on the regular updates. So if you update dom0 it should be fixed.

But if after that, it still continues, feel free to discuss it.
