I have a question on
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/template/fedora/upgrade/
<https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/template/fedora/upgrade/>:
Towards the end of the update procedure "Detailed instructions for
standard Fedora TemplateVMs" there is the command
[user@dom0 ~]$ sudo dnf remove qubes-template-fedora-<old>
However I wonder: I did not install a fedora-<new> template per
instructions, and I wonder about this asymmetry.
When you installed Qubes the default templates were installed for you.
Because the fedora-32 came onto your system as an rpm it can only be
removed by removing that rpm. To remove it, if you wish, you need to
change all AppVMs to use some other template, to remove any qubes
dependencies, then you remove the rpm.
If you want to see all the default rpm templates you can do: "dom0> rpm
-qa | grep qubes-template". Those templates need to be removed via dnf
"rpm -qa qubes-template\*" might be a bit more efficient. ;-)
or rpm rather than just deleting it from the qube-manager or the qvm-*
command line tool. When you clone a template it will not have an rpm
file associated with it, so it can be removed easily using qube-manager.
I always clone all the rpm templates then remove the rpm's, and then
rename the clones to the name I actually want. If I ever need a fresh
copy I can always reinstall the rpm and clone it to start over.
So cloning actually duplicates the rpm-installed template so it's safe
to remove the RPM package afterwards?
