Hello Marek and Andrew,
On a related note, the script at
"/usr/lib/qubes/qubes-download-dom0-updates.sh" may have
a minor bug related to the removal of the cache files when the --clean option
is passed
to the qubes-dom0-update script in dom0.
When I run "sudo qubes-dom0-update --clean", as seen below my signature, "rm"
outputs an
error mentioning that it cannot remove a directory. Even though "--clean" was
used, the
timestamp for the metadata expiration check indicates that dnf is using
metadata from
almost 12 minutes ago. This indicates an issue with the clean-up of the dnf/yum
cache.
When I "rm -rf" all the offending directory on sys-net using the command listed
below,
then "--clean" works as expected as can be seen below, where the metadata
expiration
check indicates only a 23 second delta, which is a more plausible value when
using "--clean".
All this to say, would it be possible to make the
"qubes-download-dom0-updates.sh" script use
"rm -rf" rather than "rm -f" on the paths related to the dnf/yum cache for dom0
updates?
To be specific, I mean replacing the "rm -f" instances with "rm -rf" on the
following lines
in /usr/lib/qubes/qubes-download-dom0-updates.sh in the Qubes OS VM templates:
if [ "$CLEAN" = "1" ]; then
$YUM $OPTS clean all
rm -f $DOM0_UPDATES_DIR/packages/*
rm -f $DOM0_UPDATES_DIR/var/cache/yum/*
fi
I believe this may be related to some of the "updates missing" issues that
Qubes OS users
have reported after the release of the corrections for Qubes Security Bulletin
#24.
Thank you,
Vefa
