Those messages are perfectly normal and expected. They're being passed from the UpdateVM which does the downloading (by default, sys-firewall), but of course the packages aren't supposed to be installed in the UpdateVM. Rather, they're supposed to be installed in dom0. This is the intentional division of labor that the Qubes dom0 update model is based upon. It greatly enhances security by delegating the task of downloading updates to the UpdateVM. This protects dom0 from being exposed to the dangers of performing that task. Once the packages are downloaded by the UpdateVM and passed to dom0, they should proceed to be installed in dom0. Did you abort the process prematurely upon seeing those messages, thereby preventing the packages from being installed in dom0? - -- Andrew David Wong (Axon) Community Manager, Qubes OS https://www.qubes-os.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJXcnLiAAoJENtN07w5UDAwm38QAKYty5X7JGWgynWBPNwFE7sc SKugDKjv8YBS+n9Iz3CCm06qQSTHp1qkPotBhX2sUYpb/RyjSJ78zliIR/U6Mv3L nE/Z3LH26Z70c3IRV+LORTJQlKYXZW+BnyiM4CWjir86hhSNLw9SC9FphzeBzo0c swjThgcczdWnGWlRRTFgjZBeNGkvEGCT7saZLqdmKxPkmxK/Bus/kpbsjpA4m7Gx Z3gbpHC5LXH7fif/nZ2NsvT1qF18XC91eEjQD7dXClyYXbf36xG/YNc2GmyizF2Z DBcqIpKJDsS2Xh9z0HtNas4J6VzJk5BrrGn4vEl0WnMSFJAdTbPu9KVfF1IRDJJt 18tufskv+H1ah2SHJfsV8UovVHKXAotScBTXUt0aKWWzNMUmAGp8R6bdehIjYkyh e/L+x97EQDe00V0Eg+UPn3ndG1A4NQz+9/kREX4vmi2QbKTRW9//z4OzrlIa4Si8 PlD7D7nzxUUkDYjOWZ1Ey0VaPcpWkHnc79H1+VdrEnX2RtKV0eG+zIS2QzuqJt06 DBnirOvHa4cbqvvf4GA9CgDhDqkFYJmANW10fWSjngSHX9YsRpmVpaB6gEmndezj Nzb5jlwF0veuSubLPTT32IEPdAHKC0F4E3QHhK5BhSRDpFifARXk7gd6CrRod2wG Gs0CnRoH7iu2idwBkB4J =t/dT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
