Thanks for the advice awokd. I was able to get R4.0.2-RC1 installed. I worked around the Debian template update issue by using 'apt update' manually in the terminal. The default installed Fedora, Whonix and Debian templates seem to update from Qubes Manager normally. I've had issues after restoring my backups though. I can't seem to upgrade my TemplateVMs without getting the dreaded “Failed to synchronize cache for repo” errors https://www.qubes-os.org/faq/#i-keep-getting-failed-to-synchronize-cache-for-repo-errors-when-trying-to-update-my-fedora-templates Switching the NetVM for the templates between sys-whonix, sys-firewall and sys-net hasn't resolved the error. I guess that is a Fedora issue rather than Qubes though. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

A suggested upgrade procedure could be: 1) Create 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 install media 2) Backup all VMs 3) Pull OS drive, replace with new, disconnect any secondary drives or also replace with new 4) Attempt to install new OS- try 4.0.2 first.

[qubes-users] Upgrading from R3.2 - R4.0.1 or 4.0.2-rc1?
I have a worstation on R3.2 and was holding out on an update to R4.x. I was hoping that R4.0.2 would have been finalized by now, but news on that has been pretty scarce since the July 10 announcement of RC1. I can't afford a lot of time to troubleshoot an upgrade on this particular machine. If I were to upgrade, is it safer to proceed with R4.0.1 and then to manually upgrade the VMs, or is 4.0.2-RC1 stable enough? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
