Hello evadogstar,

    Is your template used by another AppVM?

    The [templates uninstalling
documentation](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/#uninstalling)
suggests also `dnf remove`, but if it failed, suggest a [manual
uninstall](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/vm-troubleshooting/#can-not-uninstall-a-vm--error-vm-installed-by-package-manager-template-vm-name).

No,  it show as removed.

[user dom0 ~]$ sudo dnf remove qubes-template-fedora-32
No match for argument: qubes-template-fedora-32
Error: No packages marked for removal.

First command "no such domain" as result for first command. I tried with qubes- template-fedora-32 and with fedora-32. "no such domain"

sudo qubes-dom0-update still trying to upgrade qubes-template-fedora-32...

I searched for reverse dependency for this package with the help of the ArchLinux rosetta (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman/Rosetta), but the `dnf repoquery --alldeps --whatrequires qubes-template-fedora-32` command don't give me the wanted result. I'm more fluent with debian than fedora... But I think this is the way to go, find the reverse dependency for this package.

I reinstalled the template and then removed it again. Looks like issue fixed now. Also I reboot the system and saw the message about converting database from qdb (or something like this) to sqlite after I run dom0 update again.
