R3.2 Upgrading Fedora 25 --> 26 templates - PulseAudio issue

[Gaijin]

On Qubes R3.2 following the template upgrade instructions

If I try the suggested --best --allow erasing with an update then I'm
getting rid of these Qubes packages and the template won't work:

Removing dependent packages:
qubes-gui-vm x86_64 3.2.18-1.fc26
@qubes-vm-r3.2-current 140 k
qubes-vm-dependencies noarch 3.2.3-1.fc26
@qubes-vm-r3.2-current 0
yum-utils noarch 1.1.31-512.fc26 @fedora
334 k

Wondering how I might work around this.

I would be interested in Fedora 26 or even better 27 in R3.2 as well.

if possible a rawhide repository too (for latest package updates ->
security reason)

Well, there are Fedora 26 templates
https://ftp.qubes-os.org/repo/yum/r3.2/current/vm/
However, I'm still stuck with this PulseAudio issue...

Nobody else has run into this issue of an older version of PulseAudio
being required for the Fedora 26 templates in R3.2?

I can update some packages manually, but this dependency in the Qubes
Fedora 26 template messes up updating from the GUI Qubes Manager. All
templates always show that an update is needed.

Hi all,
I've the same issue with Fedora 26 and Qubes R3.2. trying to update the image I got the same result.
hoping someone could help us

For pulseaudio issue in Fedora 26, you need to enable the current-testing to update the qubes-gui-agent-linux for which the spec has been updated (see https://github.com/fepitre/qubes-gui-agent-linux/commit/251f5a4be505d6a268fd16bf15e33d9957c36b49). Also, if you want, you can build the Fedora 26 for R3.2 and soon Fedora 27 (see my post https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qubes-devel/MLjj0RNYTe8/H-85bI8cBQAJ).

Do not hesitate to check what happen on the qubes-devel list notably for such problem related to newer version of Fedora.

I see the documentation to enable current-testing in the VM
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/software-update-vm/ and I assume that we
would add that in the upgrade step in the template somewhat like this:

sudo dnf --releasever=26 distro-sync
--enablerepo=qubes-vm-fedora-26-current-testing

However, I don't seem to be able to guess the correct repo-name to add
in here. I get 'unknown repo' with "fedora-26", "fedora26", & "fc26".
How would I find the correct Repo name to put in here?

It's only 'qubes-vm-r3.2-current-testing'.

[Gaijin]

Thanks! That worked to get the Fedora 26 templates updated for me:

sudo dnf --releasever=26 distro-sync
--enablerepo=qubes-vm-r3.2-current-testing

I was able to update all my templates in R3.2 and they appear to be
working fine now.
