New Install of Qubes OS 4.0.2 RC1 Dom0 Doesnt Update

[alex...@gmail.com]

Hey, I have just Updated my System to Qubes OS 4.0.2 RC1 and the Install went very Smoothly. Actually didnt have a single Error/Issue with the Install. This is also using UEFI. I am using a Lenova X1 carbon Gen 6 laptop.

The Issue I am having is that When I try and update Dom0 in the Terminal using "sudo qubes-dom0-update" I am getting this.

Fedora 25 - x86_64 - Updates
Fedora 25 - x86_64
Qubes Dom0 Repository (updates)
determining the fastest mirror (15 hosts)..done..
Qubes Templates repo138%
Qubes Templates repository
Last metadata expiration check:
Dependencies resolved.

Reinstalling:
python3-blivet noarch 2:2.1.6-5.fc25 qubes-dom0-current
python3-kickstart noarch 1000:2.32-4.fc25 qubes-dom0-current
qubes-release noarch 4.0-8 qubes-dom0-current
qubes-release-notes noarch 4.0-8 qubes-dom0-current

It downloads these updates and then says:

Complete!
The downloaded packages were saved in cashe until the next successful transaction.

After I restart the computer this just keeps repeating. Is there a way to fix this?

I am also noticing that when I start Qubes OS I am getting this during the boot process "Failed to start Load Kernel Modules" but it continues to boot up with no other issues.

Interesting. I don't have that problem. I did get some other error messages the first time I ran sudo qubes-dom0-update, something about can't delete local files, but it hasn't done it again.

I did some research and found this https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/4792.

I have bypassed the Issue by manually installing those items in dom0 using "sudo dnf install".

I have also just had the same issue when I downloaded a fresh copy of debian-10-min from testing. It downloaded but wouldnt install. I had to manually install the template using the line above.

The problem is that they're effectively the same version of the installed
package so nothing gets updated but the update process realizes that too
late.

You can force reinstalling these package if you want to prevent the
repeat.
