If cache last 48 hours and not 6 hours, that certainly could explain it. I'll write down when I do future updates to see if it is gone when beyond 48 hours or if using --refresh within 48 hours. Duly noted on the --refresh option. I've been worried if checking updates more frequently would stress the servers (considering when many people do it), so --refresh seems like a much, much better option. I'll definitely use this from now on. I have indeed installed the listed updates. I think I understand what you mean, it's a little complex to rephrase it all in full words, but if I understood what you meant right I essentially I created these update holes on my own, which caused out-of-sync dom0/template updates when only "sometimes" using 'clean all' within 48 hours instead of the thought 6 hours, (or --refresh, which I'll use from now on). So if I got this down right, if I properly and systematically use --refresh for both dom0/template in sync when it's within 48 hours, then I won't risk out of sync updates again. I lack the technical insight, but with the little knowledge I have it does indeed seem pretty likely to explain the cache issue I experience, and the solution seems pretty good. It also removes the worries I had, I want to thank you for that too. I'll give this adjusted user approach to updates a spin for a while before reporting back whether the cache update issue is fully gone. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-devel" group.
