[marmarek]

Observation

openQA test in scenario qubesos-4.2-pull-requests-x86_64-system_tests_guivm_gui_interactive@64bit fails in update_guivm

Downloading 'qubes-template-fedora-38-xfce-0:4.1.0-202305071616'...

Error: 'qubes-template-fedora-38-xfce-0:4.1.0-202305071616' download failed.

Further debugging shows that repository from which template is supposed to be downloaded has only baseurl set, but no metalink. This causes the downloadurl dnf plugin to return empty URLs list.

Reproducible

Fails since (at least) Build 2023040604-4.2

Expected result

Last good: 2023031711-4.2 (or more recent)

Further details

Always latest result in this scenario: latest
