SaltStack and template management: discrepanies between `update.qubes-vm` and in-(Fedora)template `dnf update`?

[balin1]

Thank you.
First feedback: changing updateVM to sys-firewall didn’t fix this. But I now see an error Could not create DNF metadata cache - this error does NOT shop up when using sys-whonix.

I looked around and found an old post of yours here:

Updates cache options?

OK. I played with the Fedora templates more and finally got this working. This will work in Debian templates, but not Fedora. In the Fedora templates I go to /etc/yum.repos.d/ and edit all of the *.repo files. Uncomment #baseurl=http://download.example/... and replace that with something like baseurl=http://HTTPS///download.fedoraproject.org/ Comment out #metalink=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/... I don’t know it this is overkill, but in the .repo files where there was a baseurl alread…

Changing the repo lines for fedora to http://HTTPS/// did not seem to fix it either.

On to salt debugging.
