No expert here, but tested stuff on a QubesOS R4.0 with a working Whonix
14 installation.

Running `sudo qubesctl state.sls qvm.anon-whonix` alone would *not*
install Whonix 15 for me, it would just note that all relevant VMs exist
already and call it quits.


What worked for me was:


1. Install the Whonix 15 templates:

sudo qubes-dom0-update \
  --enablerepo=qubes-templates-community \
  --action=install \
  qubes-template-whonix-gw-15 \
  qubes-template-whonix-gw-15


2. Using Qube Manager, change the templates for relevant qubes
(sys-whonix, anon-whonix, whonix-ws-14-dvm) to relevant Whonix 15 templates.

Restart any modified qubes afterwards, of course, and test stuff works.


3. Remove the unneeded Whonix 14 templates:

sudo dnf remove \
  qubes-template-whonix-gw-14 \
  qubes-template-whonix-gw-14



So far so good.
