sudo qubes-dom0-update results in VM using /usr/lib/qubes/qubes-download-dom0-updates.sh which is internally using yumdownloader. However, yumdownloader is no longer available in Debian 11 bullseye.

yumdownloader is part of package yum-utils but that was last available for Debian 10 buster.

Debian 11 bullseye however does provide package dnf 4.5.2.

Perhaps /usr/lib/qubes/qubes-download-dom0-updates.sh could be ported to use it?

Tested only with Whonix 16 but should be same issue with Debian 11.

qubes-download-dom0-updates.sh (tries to) use yumdownloader only if there is no dnf (which was the case on debian-10), so on debian-11 it should use dnf (which is also expressed in the package dependencies: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-core-agent-linux/blob/master/debian/control#L111). Maybe it's just about uwt wrapper for dnf?

Yes, it's working now.

Though, I was seeing in the xtrace that running yumdownloader as attempted. Unfortunately didn't keep the xtrace.

I just updated whonix-gw-16 and I'm now able to run qubes-dom0-update with sys-whonix-16 as updatevm.

It didnt apply to the debian-11 template in testing.

Yes, it's working now.
