Issues with building debian-8-minimal in Qubes Automated Build System

[wordsw...@gmail.com]

I'm stuck partway through the process.

I'm following the directions here: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/building-archlinux-template/

with substitutions for debian-8-minimal.

I've gotten through with minimal problems (had to manually create ~/qubes-builder/keyring folders), but came across a major issue during the make:

[user@development qubes-builder]$ make qubes-vm

ERROR: call 'make install-deps' to install missing dependencies
Makefile:199: recipe for target 'check-depend.rpm' failed
make: *** [check-depend.rpm] Error 1

'make install-deps' and manually attempting to install the dependencies confirms that they're all installed.

There's another very random development: I've lost all of the dom0 shortcuts from the Qubes Start menu.

I got this error when I tried to build debian-8-minimal in
fedora-25-minimal (I believe). Do you use fedora-23 as your build
environment?

I used fedora-25. Is fedora-23 preferred?

Yes. Just follow the instructions :)

Fedora 24 works just fine too.
