## “Failed to synchronize cache for repo” errors when updating Fedora templates ##
This is general Fedora issue, not a Qubes-specific issue.
Usually, this is due to network problems (especially if downloading updates over Tor) or problems with the download mirrors.
Often, the problem can be resolved by trying again on a different connection (a different Tor circuit, if using Tor) or waiting and trying again later.
Here are some examples of non-Qubes reports about this problem:

## Lost internet access after a TemplateVM update ##
In earlier versions of Qubes, there were situations where qubes lost internet access after a TemplateVM update. The following fix should be applied in recent versions of Qubes.
Run `systemctl enable NetworkManager-dispatcher.service` in the TemplateVM upon which your NetVM is based.
You may have to reboot afterward for the change to take effect.
(Note: This is an upstream problem. See [this Redhat ticket](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=974811)).
