See awokd comments. Problem is that I have nothing in APPLICATIONS. Have tried Removing DEB9 template, installing DEB8 template and then following the Upgrade 8 to 9 route. This initially seems to solve problem. Load of APPLICATIONS appear - and by going into repos folder- could change "jessie" to "stretch". Then update/upgrade. Still can't use the APPLICATIONS in DEB 9. I'll try it again with fresh install - in case I did something wrong. Another option - might simply copy the DEB9 "template" from previous computer and install that - but wanted to avoid that - just naturally want to have "clean" install on QUBES 4 on new computer. Any other suggestions welcome - have others found DEBIAN-9 template OK on clean install?. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
