Did you enable updates-proxy-setup for sys-whonix? You shouldn’t enable the use of another update proxy (cacher) in an update proxy qube (sys-whonix):
updates-proxy-setup(and its deprecated name:yum-proxy-setup) - use a proxy provided by another VM (instead of downloading updates directly), enabled by default in all templates
How to install software | Qubes OS
To use sys-whonix as an update proxy you need to enable qubes-updates-proxy service for it.
Well, the thing I didn’t try was to set stock gw for sys-whonix template, and once I did, it worked.
I’m baffled totally. The template I’m firing the least is gw. Simply no need for it, once I set sys-whonix,several years ago, and just changing its template to a new gw release(-upgrade)…
Thanks for your time.
SInce I started to use Qubes, I never set this service manually for any qube (if you meant on manual set), and I never had a problem?
I don’t see it in any netVM Services tab too.
I don’t know how could it be enabled without the action of the user.
Maybe you run some script/salt in dom0 that modified it without your knowledge?
