Good you got it in sync :)

I'm working on an update script btw, which might solve issues like these. But 
while the script works pretty smoothly (by all looks of it, it works in, at 
least in controlled conditions), I still need to sort out reliability questions 
and redundancy mechanics, as well as appeal and looks. Also need critical eyes 
to spot dangerous dragons in the script (mistakes that I made). It's kind of a 
simple script though, but I'm not an expert, so who knows if I messed something 
up. If these remaining issues can be worked out, then I'll share it on my 
github page. I also got exams irl atm though, so I might not work so fast on 
this, plus my lack of scripting skills slows me down too. Hopefully it will 
work though, my goal is to make updating possible for people who have no 
background in Linux/Qubes, like for example to the QubesTV project I'm trying 
to get going.
