Also in case people don't know there is an easy procedure to store the list of installed packages from the old debian 9 template and reinstall the same packages in the fresh template: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/176134/installing-packages-by-importing-the-list-with-dpkg-set-selections/177187#177187 I reproduce the steps here for convenience: debian-9-old$ dpkg --get-selections > /tmp/dpkg_selections.txt debian-9-old$ qvm-copy-to-vm debian-9 /tmp/dpkg_selections.txt debian-9$ avail=`mktemp` debian-9$ apt-cache dumpavail > "$avail" debian-9$ dpkg --merge-avail "$avail" debian-9$ rm -f "$avail" debian-9$ sudo dpkg --set-selections < ~/QubesIncoming/debian-9-old/dpkg-selections.txt debian-9$ sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade That should do the trick. Of course check dpkg-selections.txt, it's a simple text file. Note that with this procedure the information of which packages have been installed manually and which automatically as a dependency is not kept. If you want to transfer this information use this procedure: debian-9-old$ apt-mark showmanual > pkgs_manual.lst debian-9-old$ apt-mark showauto > pkgs_auto.lst debian-9-old$ qvm-copy-to-vm debian-9 pkgs_auto.lst pkgs_manual.lst debian-9$ sudo apt-mark manual $(cat QubesIncoming/debian-9-old/pkgs_manual.lst) debian-9$ sudo apt-mark auto $(cat QubesIncoming/debian-9-old/pkgs_auto.lst) https://askubuntu.com/questions/101931/restoring-all-data-and-dependencies-from-dpkg-set-selections/108760#108760 Hope that's useful.
