Cheers, Bernhard
After botching the whonix-14 template with an unsuccessful upgrade attempt I reinstalled it by entering sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-templates-community --action=reinstall qubes-template-whonix-gw-14 as explained at https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Qubes/Reinstall Because this page gives 'sudo qubesctl state.sls qvm.anon-whonix' as a mandatory step I executed that after the reinstall. This installed 2 new templates whonix-gw-15, whonix-ws-15 and a whonix-ws-15-dvm, with all the old stuff still present. I deleted the Whonix 14 templates with dnf and all seems fine now. So, apparently just entering sudo qubesctl state.sls qvm.anon-whonix is the easiest way to install new Whonix 15 templates. I didn't create a special update VM for this. Probably it is best to remove the old ones first even though it also works if you don't, apparently. If you need to *upgrade* for some reason (instead of simply replacing the templates with new ones) then you should *NOT* follow this procedure, of course. Also see: https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Qubes/Install I find it pretty confusing too ...
