R4.0.1 RC1 - qubes-dom0-update not working

[Dominique St-Pierre Boucher]

Hello Qubes Users,

Just installed RC1 on 2 laptops. This is working fine for install and template. Working fine for template update.

My issue is that qubes-dom0-update does not work for qubes repo. This is the message I am getting:

Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'qubes-dom0-current', inoring this repo.

With my check on what is appening in qubes-dom0-update and what is appening with yum, I think that the variable for the release is not set correctly and it prevents yum from connecting to the repo.

So here are my questions:

1- Am I right?
2- How do I fix it?

Thanks

Dominique

Yes, has been handled in bug 4477
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/4477 that seems to have
been resolved a couple of days ago.

To perform the first upgrade that fixes the problem, though, I think
that you can use --releasever=4.0 as a parameter to qubes-dom0-upgrade.

Did not try it myself because I solved it by manually correcting the URL
in /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo
