Some progress.
Using "sudo qubes-dom0-update --clean" did the trick for cleaning the dnf cache.
Using "sudo qubes-dom0-update --action=reinstall qubes-template-debian-10" got
my reinstall done. It squawked about there being "no such domain 'debian-10'",
but it ran through the reinstall fine.
Now I need to figure out how to clean up the primary drive a bit as I think I
used a lot more drive space than can be accounted for by the install. However,
I have Debian now, so I can build my production VM! Lots to learn. Turned off
my Windows box and dove into the deep end.
