Also, lets not forget that Debian10 is "testing" - it's liable to break,
and doesnt get security updates like stable.
There are issues with some Qubes packages in buster - fixing them hasnt
been a high priority until the buster freeze.

I know it was supposed to have been fixed at one point and I had been

Yes, going back to fedora-28 or debian-9 should fix it. It's possible 
the issue re-occurred in fedora-29. Try the same manual fix there.


Think Qubes' policy is only the current version of Debian is 
supported, so if you choose to upgrade to 10 it's entirely possible 
you'll break things. If I remember right, there will be an 
announcement once 10 is supported and available for download as a 
template.






PS:  is it a bad idea  to  upgrade (which I've done successfully to 
debian-10)  if the templates are not available,  guess I was thinking 
the fact that I was able to upgrade  means there were templates there ...


It's not a bad idea per se, just unsupported. That means there's a 
higher chance of you running into problems with Qubes related utilities, 
and any fixes or workarounds from the Qubes OS team will be low priority 
compared to versions they actively support. However, if you are able to 
contribute by testing out new versions and possibly developing fixes, 
that can save them time!

appreciate the reply.

ya, iirc, the templates being there sometimes precedes the 
announcements, so I went on ahead.


guess my thinking was that once it was fixed it would stay fixed then 
afterwards,  but guess I can run one template just for  sys-net  if 
I must


fwiw, setting it manually with timedatectl  and not even rebooting, and 
it ( the taskbar clock and what I think whonix wants )  seems to have 
reverted to UTC or some random hour actually ...


as long as  I know I can fix it,  I'll  sort it out I guess  :/
