### Qubes OS release 4.2rc5 ### Brief summary Happens consistently fo…r `fedora-38-xfce` and `fedora-38`, but not for the `debian-12`(+`-xfce`) templates: ``` Updating fedora-38-xfce b'warning: runaway fork() in Lua script\n' b'warning: runaway fork() in Lua script\n' b'warning: runaway fork() in Lua script\n' b'warning: runaway fork() in Lua script\n' b'warning: /etc/java/java-17-openjdk/java-17-openjdk-17.0.9.0.9-1.fc38.x86_64/conf/security/java.security created as /etc/java/java-17-openjdk/java-17-openjdk-17.0.9.0.9-1.fc38.x86_64/conf/security/java.security.rpmnew\nwarning: /etc/java/java-17-openjdk/java-17-openjdk-17.0.9.0.9-1.fc38.x86_64/conf/security/nss.fips.cfg created as /etc/java/java-17-openjdk/java-17-openjdk-17.0.9.0.9-1.fc38.x86_64/conf/security/nss.fips.cfg.rpmnew\nwarning: /etc/java/java-17-openjdk/java-17-openjdk-17.0.9.0.9-1.fc38.x86_64/lib/security/public_suffix_list.dat created as /etc/java/java-17-openjdk/java-17-openjdk-17.0.9.0.9-1.fc38.x86_64/lib/security/public_suffix_list.dat.rpmnew\n' b'warning: runaway fork() in Lua script\n' b"/bin/kdumpctl: line 1270: grubby: command not found\nkdump: kernel 6.6.6-100.fc38.x86_64 doesn't exist\n" b'warning: runaway fork() in Lua script\n' b'warning: runaway fork() in Lua script\n' ``` ### Steps to reproduce Update either of the standard fedora-38 templates using the new GUI updater and observe output after clicking on the template name. ### Expected behavior No persistent warnings in standard configuration (I'm referring to the `warning: runaway fork() in Lua script` parts of the above log). ### Actual behavior Persistent warnings on every update even though I haven't messed with the update mechanism at all.
