I've tried with a Fedora-33-minimal base for the builder (I usually use Debian), and the Archlinux template builds fine. As I said, there are two problems : first, you're just not building all the required packages. I don't see how this is happening - if you run setup, and then `make qubes-vm` you *will* get all the required packages, or will see feedback on where a package build has failed.. You can turn on DEBUG and increase verbosity by editing builder.conf. BUT, you should also have build-logs which you can inspect. Try `make clean-rpms`, delete builder.conf, run setup.sh, increase verbosity, `make get-sources`, `make qubes-vm`. Watch for any errors. If all is well, then `make template` -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
