Qubes OS release

4.1

qubes-core-admin-client version:

Installed: 4.1.27-1+deb11u1
Candidate: 4.1.27-1+deb11u1
Version table:
*** 4.1.27-1+deb11u1 500
500 https://deb.qubes-os.org/r4.1/vm bullseye/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Brief summary

Not sure if this is intended, but I believe that /usr/bin/qvm-block is supposed to be a symbolic link to /usr/bin/qvm-device . If it is supposed to be there, then since qvm-device was installed by qubes-core-admin-client, I'm guessing that qubes-core-admin-client was supposed to be the one to add the link.

Steps to reproduce

sudo apt install qubes-core-admin-client
ls -l /usr/bin/qvm-block

Expected behavior

see symbolic link to /usr/bin/qvm-device

Actual behavior

no such file

These were only in dom0, which is inconsistent.

Is there a clean way to make this work with package upgrades? The problem with the naive solution is that the new qubes-core-admin-client and the old qubes-core-dom0 can’t be installed simultaneously. I can, of course, make adding the symlinks conditional on the Fedora version being greater than 37 (R4.2’s dom0), but that’s ugly.

@ddevz Simplest workaround is to use qvm-device block instead.
