Chris is absolutely right, and this is not dependent on Qubes version. The difference between qvm-remove and dnf-remove is that you cannot remove a template installed using dnf by qubes-remove. SO if you have a base debian-8 template installed using qubes-dom0-update or at original install, then you must remove it using dnf remove. If you have cloned a template you can remove the clone using qvm-remove, but NOT dnf remove. As Chris says, you must make sure that you have no appVMs using the template you want to remove before you remove it. This applies whether you use a clone or not. unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
