Unable to Remove Template / Preun: Domain not found

[entr0py]

New Qubes 3.1 installation with Advanced (No Configuration) option.

After restoring dom0 + serviceVMs + serviceTemplates, tried to
`sudo yum remove qubes-template-fedora-23`

Received: Error in PREUN scriptlet in rpm package...
libvirt.libvirtError: Domain not found [from libvirt.py line 4066 lookupByName]

`sudo yum list qubes-template-fedora-23` shows template installed from @anaconda/R3.1 repo.

`sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-fedora-23` returns
"No Match for argument qubes-template-fedora-23"

Thanks for help.

Just a quick check: If you do "qvm-prefs -l fedora-23" (in dom0), is
the value for installed_by_rpm "True"?

Yes, `installed_by_rpm : True`

Does this have to do with the fact that the template was installed by the installer without any pre-configuration?

Is the preun script necessary? Can't find the thread where Marek suggested --no-script...

Or maybe some way to reset rpm?

[3n7r...@gmail.com]

Duh. Issue resolved.

The template needs to be updated! before it can be removed... Seems odd, but given the interplay between templates & dom0, I guess it's not that surprising.

Maybe better question is, why was the template installed to begin with when I opted out of any initial configuration?

That's a known bug, recently fixed:

I'm getting quite good at finding bugs - six months after the fact. :/
