just restarting the updatevm should clean things up, but means you have
to download the template RPM again.


I have restarted the entire system in an effort to get it fixed. No go. It just keeps on complaining that it could not delete the old database.

There is a symlink on sys-whonix

'/var/lib/qubes/dom0-updates/home/user/.rpmdbold.3146'

that points to

'.rpmdbold.3146 -> /var/lib/qubes/dom0-updates/var/lib/rpm'

and this is where the problem is. But this gets recreated everytime sys-whonix restarts. If I restart sys-whonix and look in '/var/lib/qubes/dom0-updates/' it is empty. I then try to install the fedora-32-minimal template at which time a new symlink gets created

user@host:/var/lib/qubes/dom0-updates/home/user$ ls -la
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 user user 4096 Jul  3 11:25 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 user user 4096 Jul  3 11:25 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 user user 4096 Jul  3 11:25 .rpmdb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 39 Jul 3 11:25 .rpmdbold.2153 -> /var/lib/qubes/dom0-updates/var/lib/rpm

The location the symlink points to, '/var/lib/qubes/dom0-updates/var/lib/rpm', also gets created at the same time, but then it also complains that it cannot delete the old database at '/var/lib/qubes/dom0-updates/var/lib/rpm'. But that was just created.

It continues despite this but eventually comes back and says there is nothing to download.
