    I need to re-install Qubes and last time I installed, maybe around
    Feb 2019, there was an advisory about an apt-bug which required a
    fix. Is that now taken care of automatically in the deb-9 template
    or is that procedure still required?

    thank you in advance for your adherence.

    will make sure to use the lhe latest,  but I thought 4.02 was still
    in beta.
    Also, the instructions in the QSB are much more complex than simply
    updating through the gui.Why do you think a regular update would
    work when the QSB or Qubes documentation advises a much more
    complex, completely different proceure?

    Somethhing is not right here. It is inconsisitent. If all you needto
    do is a regulsr simple update, the documentation should reflect
    thatand not send users through a much more elaboraate templace
    replacement process.


ALSO the QSB says that the bug is actually inthe update process of apt itself, so it stands to reason that if there has been a malicious code injection, merely updating will not suffice.

On new installs of 4.0 and 4.0.1, you can use this procedure:

qubes-dom0-update
qubes-dom0-update --action=upgrade qubes-template-debian-9


This will first update dom0, then perform an 'upgrade' on the template as a whole (without using apt). Finally, do a regular apt-based update in the template.

Alternately, you could skip Debian 9 and install Debian 10 (its in testing but is working fine):

qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes*testing qubes-template-debian-10
