Reinstalling whonix-gw and whonix-ws fails

[Wikinaut]

Qubes OS version (e.g., R3.2):

R3.2

I already reported other issues related to updating whonix, and wanted now to reinstall the default whonix templates ( see https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/reinstall-template/ ):

$ sudo qubes-dom0-update --action=reinstall qubes-template-whonix-ws
$ sudo qubes-dom0-update --action=reinstall qubes-template-whonix-gw

but both fails with messages like

Last metadata expoiration check: (current date)
Installed package qubes-template-whonix-ws-3.0.6-291608050146.noarch not available.
Error: Nothing to do

respectively

Last metadata expoiration check: (current date)
Installed package qubes-template-whonix-gw-3.0.6-291608050041.noarch not available.
Error: Nothing to do

You have to enable the community templates repo, which is where those packages reside:

$ sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-templates-community --action=reinstall qubes-template-whonix-ws
$ sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-templates-community --action=reinstall qubes-template-whonix-gw

By the way, that's documented here: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/whonix/install/

@andrewdavidwong perhaps this ( --enablerepo=qubes-templates-community ) should be added on https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/reinstall-template/ ?
