On a 100% fresh QubesOS R4.2.3 installation, I added @unman 's 3isec repo and then installed the “3isec-qubes-task-manager” rpm, followed by running “qubes-task install cacher”.
The result is:
- the cacher works for Debian templates, but failed to install on the fedora-40-xfce template;
- moreover, it made the fedora-40-xfce template to stop updating;
- trying to run qubesctl (as per the cacher instructions) to remove the changes from the fedora-40-xfce template also fails (logs below)
It all seems to revolve around this error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘backports’
… which reminds me of a warning that I’ve seen some time ago about ‘backports’ becoming obsolete.
Anyways… this is the bug report.
