### Qubes OS release Qubes R4.2.1 (with only Debian templates, no Fedora temp…lates, and with sys-whonix as update gateway for both dom0 and qubes) ### Brief summary After updating dom0 on 21 May 2024, Qubes Update GUI application stopped working. It won't even start if clicking on the app menu item for it, and a stack trace is shown if running "sudo qubes-update-gui" in dom0 terminal. This issue does not just affect me, multiple other Qubes OS users are experiencing this since yesterday. https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/dom0-update-qubes-update-no-longer-available/26546 ### Steps to reproduce 1. Install the latest dom0 updates. 2. Click app menu, cogwheel, Qubes Tools, Qubes Update. Nothing happens, no new window is opened at all. 3. Click app menu, cogwheel, Other, Xfce Terminal. 4. Type "sudo qubes-update-gui", and the below stack trace will show immediately and nothing more happens. Rebooting does not help. ### Expected behavior Starting Qubes Update GUI from the app menu or from dom0 terminal should work fine. ### Actual behavior Qubes Update GUI fails to start with this stack trace: ``` [me@dom0 ~]$ sudo qubes-update-gui Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/qui/updater/updater.py", line 58, in do_activate self.perform_setup() File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/qui/updater/updater.py", line 155, in perform_setup self.intro_page.populate_vm_list(self.qapp, self.settings) File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/qui/updater/intro_page.py", line 106, in populate_vm_list self.refresh_update_list(settings.update_if_stale) File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/qui/updater/intro_page.py", line 122, in refresh_update_list in output.decode().split("\n", maxsplit=1)[0] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ IndexError: list index out of range Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/qui/updater/updater.py", line 58, in do_activate self.perform_setup() File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/qui/updater/updater.py", line 155, in perform_setup self.intro_page.populate_vm_list(self.qapp, self.settings) File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/qui/updater/intro_page.py", line 106, in populate_vm_list self.refresh_update_list(settings.update_if_stale) File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/qui/updater/intro_page.py", line 122, in refresh_update_list in output.decode().split("\n", maxsplit=1)[0] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ IndexError: list index out of range ```
