Can't get Debian-11 template updated

I recently got some templates (bullseye, kali and Debian-11) installed on my system, but I can't get them updated. So speaking first about Denian-11, I always get the following message, when I try to update the qube via "Update Qube" function:

Failed to apply DSA-4371 fix: dpkg-query: package 'libapt-pkg5.0' is not installed and no information is available
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files.

Error: Failed to get apt version.

Anyone, who could point me to the next steps to get this working? dpkg --info and/or dpkg-deb --info didn't help to find out, whats wrong here.

btw. a 'sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-debian-11' always brings up a 'No match for argument qubes-template-debian-11' altough my Debian11 template is called Debian-11

Thanks & Cheers

Steffen

Debian 11 is not supported under Qubes yet. It's usually a month or two
after it fully releases out of freeze (not scheduled to start until Jan.
2021) before it is supported. Either switch back to 10 or review the
code and package dependencies to determine how to make it compatible
with 11.

Did you fix it?

I can update my Debian-11 template by clicking on the update arrow in qubes manager, but not via the tray icon. It executes:

[user@dom0 ~]$ sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=debian-11 --show-output state.sls update.qubes-vm
debian-11:

and fails...

Any idea?

After Debian-11 isn't supported yet under Qubes and so I didn't took a deeper look into this.
