Hi!

Following the instructions how to remove obsolete templates, I have a problem with both old whonix templates. The problem goes like this:
[master@dom0 ~]$ rpm -qa qubes-template-\*
qubes-template-debian-10-4.0.1-201912251612.noarch
qubes-template-whonix-ws-15-4.0.1-201910102356.noarch
qubes-template-whonix-gw-16-4.0.6-202109211111.noarch
qubes-template-whonix-gw-15-4.0.1-201910102356.noarch
qubes-template-whonix-ws-16-4.0.6-202109211111.noarch
[master@dom0 ~]$ sudo dnf remove qubes-template-whonix-ws-15
Dependencies resolved.

Ulrich Windl:

qvm-template-postprocess: error: No Qube with this name exists

Maybe try to fake it out by cloning some other template to "whonix-ws-15", then run again?

Hmm: The template is no longer visible in Qubes Mangager (I think I had deleted it from there).
