Already installed templates are excluded from every qubes-dom0-update operation. Mostly to not accidentally upgrade such package - which would override all the changes made inside (including installed packages, applied updates etc). Currently the only exception is "reinstall" action, with one specific template given as an argument. There is a plan to extend this to some other actions: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2527 But in general, we need some better mechanism to distribute templates, this is one of the reasons... - -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
