Using sys-whonix-15 as UpdateVM to download updates for Dom0; this may take some time...

Nothing to download

Likewise, searching for it only gives Debian 9 and minimal.

Hello,

I think you need to enable testing repositories.
As always the answer is somewhere in the excellent Qubes Docs ;-)

Also:
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/debian/
"A Debian-10 template is currently available from the testing repository."

@799, the link you sent was for VM testing repositories, not for dom0 testing repos. Even when enabling all repos after following this doc: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/software-update-dom0/#testing-repositories , it doesn't work.

@unman, from your link, I'm getting "Error getting repository data for qubes-templates-itl-testing, repository not found". Are you sure it's necessary to create this repo to get the Debian template?

The repository is already defined (in dom0) in
/etc/yum.repos.d/qubes-templates.repo

By default it's not enabled.
You can use it (temporarily) like this:
`sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-templates-itl-testing qubes-template-debian-10`

unman

another option backup all VMs wanted reinstall to 4.0.2 , seems
like a good idea once in a while, sort of like using fresh templates

albeit bit time-consuming
