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

R3.2

Feature request to expand on the 'reinstall' capability added to qubes-dom0-update. The dnf actions 'upgrade', 'upgrade-to', and 'downgrade' can also be supported as they are functionally similar to 'reinstall'. This can be useful for changing a template in-place that has a vulnerability in its package manager ( e.g. issue #2520 affecting Debian apt ).

Notes

So far I have replaced "reinstall" keyword in qubes-dom0-update with "upgrade" and it is working on the Whonix templates. Need to change code to accommodate multiple keywords:

reinstall
upgrade
upgrade-to
downgrade

Will submit PR soon...
