Note that with debian based systems (at least up until the most recent updated iso) it is necessary to do a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade or the Qubes equivalents (on new installs). Perhaps there is an equivalent distinction in the fedora dnf system.
In sum, I have found that there is more than one way to update/upgrade the debian templates aside from the published method, and it would not be surprising if various tweaks and work arounds are needed for fedora. I will watch this thread and check my system as in the long run we need good updatable fedora templates as they are possibly more secure, and we need a fallback system should the various debian bugs create more vulnerability than we can live with. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
