Well I got rofi installed, only because I happened upon a dated reddit

This solution was back in August 2020 but it worked for me, no clue why
the method in the documentation did not work, havent been able to get
any feedback but I am hoping this will help any others trying to install
rofi.
Stumpy, dude, thank you for your perseverance! ;-)
Your findings combined with the official Qubes documentation solved it.
Apparently importing the contrib key is necessary for the install to succeed.
So after importing with:
sudo rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-qubes-4-contrib-fedora
I just followed the documentation at
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/installing-contributed-packages/ and now the
install went fine, finally!
After changing the i3 config file it all works flawlessly on 4.0. I preferred
not to enable the testing repo but just keep the contrib, FWIW.
Also many thanks to fepitre!
Maybe it is wise to update the documentation, if this is indeed all correct? Or
did we miss this somewhere?
I am (really) glad it helped someone, I posted again and again trying to
figure what i was doing wrong.
It would indeed be wise to update the documentation as its seriously
lacking for rofi at least (and I suspect for some other qubes contrib
packages). I am not familiar with github but will see if I can edit or
pull or whatever its called to edit the rofi (and maybe polybar) page.
I would not be surprised at all if I missed something else, so if you do
pick some other nuggets please do reply to the group (i noticed the
mailing list posts are automatically put in the discourse forum.
