Hello List,

Not too important but:

I have two identical laptops (apart from ram)

The first one works perfectly and all updates fine.

On the second one every vm is updated as well ("by hand" in the running
template and via right manager, no updates available in  debian-9,
whonix-15 and fedora-30 (and some clones)),

but the Update icon in the taskbar is still saying that there are upates
available. This started a few days with fedora and now every vm/template
wants updates (according to the panel plugin), but all VMs can be
updated fine by hand?!

So this is only cosmetic but strange.

(maybe correlated: Dom0 says on "qubes-dom0-update" that some packages
are already downloaded but doesn't seem to install them)

Thanks a lot in advance
Fr

The update icon issue is a known issue , and the fix is in the pipeline.-
There's an additional problem where disposableVM are created with
"update available" set, but that also is being fixed.

On the dom0 issue, you can (generally) resolve this by opening a
terminal in dom0 and manually installing the updates -
sudo dnf install <package name>
