It might be this:

https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/6642

I'm basing this on seeing "exception list index out of range" mentioned
there too, but beyond that, I'm not certain.

Thank you Andrew. But since their "solution" seems to use Fedora instead
of Debian, one could also suggest re-installing qubes first to see if
the error persists, or changing the computer -- I exaggerate to
illustrate that this can not even be called a workaround :-))

Anyways. Whonix still allows manual update in terminal, maybe the
qubes-updater is overestimated anyways ... there were some nice scripts
under 3.2 for automatically updating all templates. Just have to find
hem again. Bernhard
