Debian 10 Buster upgrade

[Kikko]

Hi, I see that many have updated to Debian 10 Buster, which I think is also essential to update Whonix, but to me the "full-upgrade" removes the qubes- * packages and breaks the connection with Qubes.
I would like to know how to upgrade to Debian 10 Buster, all the procedures lead inexorably to having the TemplateVM no longer working.
Thank you

Hi,

You have to replace 'stretch' with 'buster' in _both_ of these files:

/etc/apt/sources.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/qubes-r4.list

If you had previously added 'testing' or 'sid' you may have to also
comment those out for the upgrade procedure.

Then do the following:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get autoremove

This process worked for me.

Thanks Chris, I had already replaced Stretch with Buster with the command:
sudo sed -i 's / stretch / buster / g' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo sed -i 's / stretch / buster / g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
I uncommented in qubes-r4.list the candidades and testing reposity.
However, I have other lists of repositories due to different tests I did before starting to test on a cloned VM.
When I try to do apt dist-upgrade removes me:
"The following packages will be REMOVED:
qubes-gui-agent qubes-vm-dependencies "
Continuing the upgrade the terminal closes and I reach the VM only from the console on Dom0.

I saw that there are two templeateVM in the repository qubes:
qubes-template-debian-8.noarch: Qubes template for debian-8
qubes-template-debian-9-minimal.noarch: Qubes template for debian-9-minimal

user @ deb10: ~ $ sudo lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU / Linux 9.9 (stretch)
Release: 9.9
Codename: stretch

Kernel: Linux 4.19.56-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64

Do you say that it's better for me to start all over again by deleting the Debian templeateVM I use?
