Update failures tend to be one of the most common issues during the SecureDrop Workstation pilot, with diskspace limits being one of the most common causes (cf. discussion in freedomofpress/securedrop-workstation#653 and upstream in QubesOS/qubes-issues#6676).

In the absence of other mitigations, we may want to add a section to the docs that explains some common steps to both detect & mitigate update failures:

  • Interpretation of launcher.log and launcher-detail.log
  • Analyzing diskspace usage
  • Freeing up space using apt clean and apt autoremove
  • Running updates manually in a template to debug other issues
