No. Both the template and the AppVM return this:
user@test-ham:~$ ls -l /sbin/nft
ls: cannot access '/sbin/nft': No such file or directory
Can you confirm that you have it here:
ls -l /usr/sbin/nft
Yes. It’s there.
user@test-ham:~$ ls -l /usr/sbin/nft
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 26696 Sep 4 2022 /usr/sbin/nft
Then let’s try something. In the AppVM, copy nft from that location to the missing one and restart the qubes-network-uplink service:
sudo cp /usr/sbin/nft /sbin/nft
sudo systemctl restart qubes-network-uplink.service

Oh! That did something!
user@test-ham:~$ sudo cp /usr/sbin/nft /sbin/nft
user@test-ham:~$ sudo systemctl restart qubes-network-uplink.service
user@test-ham:~$ ping yahoo.com

I’ll do that on the template
Good, remember to restart the AppVM after you shut down the template for the change to take effect.
I can confirm that applying that to the Template fixes the network connectivity in the associated AppVMs. Thank you very much @DVM !!

Glad it works now!
/sbin should be a link to /usr/sbin.
I’m not sure how this link should be created, either manually created or it should be configured by some service.
What’s the content of /sbin directory?
ls -la /sbin
If it’s empty and only contains nft that you’ve copied then you can remove the directory and create a link manually:
sudo rm -rf /sbin
sudo ln -s usr/sbin /sbin
But clone your template before trying it just in case it’ll break something.
It’s full of other stuff:
$ ls -la /sbin

Do you remember if this template was upgraded in-place from Debian 9 while you were using Qubes 4.0? The merge was done in Debian 10 iirc.
You should probably recreate the template using the debian-12-xfce template instead of editing things in the current one. Since it’s a very old template, it might have some other old stuff like this still present and it’s not worth finding all of them.
If I recall correctly, that particular template migrated from my R3.2 install which may have been Debian 7 or 8. I manually upgraded this template several times following the Qubes docs (never an upgrade script until 4.2). I have a lot of customization in there that is used for some very specific control of external radio equipment. Up until now it has just worked…
However, I agree that it makes sense to bite the bullet and do a full refresh of that template. Until now I didn’t realize all of the cruft that has accumulated in that template over the years.
If the template works for your usage, it’s fine to use it as is. If you still want to try to fix this problem specifically, you could clone the template and try your luck by installing the usrmerge package.
