The lack of detail here doesnt help. Since I successfully built templates at the end of September, I wonder if it is the use of a *new* base image (bootstrap from 2021-10-01) that is the issue.

Honestly, the error messages I got were almost useless. It was as if the base image didn’t include the needed OpenPGP keys. I will attack an error log.

Quite possibly

@DemiMarie : with the #7282 closed issue and the
7cfd553 commit, this issue is now closable, isn't it?

[DemiMarie]

Can you build a template?

I checked, it failed but not for a GPG issue, the qubes-vm-repo package is too old in the 4.1 current repository:

Enter a number (default=1): warning: cannot resolve "python<3.10", a dependency of "qubes-vm-core"
warning: cannot resolve "qubes-vm-core", a dependency of "qubes-vm-dependencies"

The qubes-vm-repo package comes from the qubes-meta-packages component (source). If you agree with my analysis, can you ask to the build-bot to rebuild this component for the ArchLinux target?

[DemiMarie]

I can’t, but @marmarek can :)

Now it's OK, I built an ArchLinux template.
For updating the building-archlinux-template guide with PR #182, I run all the build procedure and got a runnable template.

This issue seems to be resolved, isn't it? Just got here in a search for problems...

[unman]

Yes, it is. Arch builds OK.

Closing as this bug appears to be fixed.
