I upgraded my whonix-ws template with apt-get upgrade. Now when I try to upgrade the template I get.

Whonix-Gateway NetVM required for updates!

Please ensure that this TemplateVM has a Whonix-Gateway as its NetVM.

No updates are possible without an active (running) Whonix-Gateway VM.

I checked the GUI and ran the command qvm-prefs -l whonix-ws netvm and they both have sys-whonix as the netvm for whonix-ws temp. I updated all of my other templates over Tor while using sys-whonix as their netvm with out any problems

I also cloned a whonix-ws temp for testing to make sure it was the upgrade that caused the problem and sure enough as soon as I did the upgrade I could not connect it to sys-whonix. (the gui and qvm-prefs said other wise though) When I ran sudo apt-get update from whoinix-ws konsole i get

Err http://sgvtcaew4bxjd7ln.onion jessie/updates Release.gpg Cannot initiate the connection to 10.137.255.254:8082 (10.137.255.254). - connect (101: Network is unreachable

I'm kinda lost here as what to do and I'm not sure what logs would be needed to figure out the problem. I also reported the problem on whonix forum because I wasn't sure if this was a Qubes or Whonix issue.

Thanks in advance

Have you enabled "Allow connections to Updates Proxy" in the firewall
settings for your whonix-ws TemplateVM?
