A workaround:

In dom0 terminal:

    sudo rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-qubes-4.0-templates-community

After this you can install whonix-* in 4.0

My installation of Qubes 4.0 did not have the key for the 4.0 community templates, so I ended up having to go to the qubes installer github page and install the key by cloning the package here (https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-installer-qubes-os) and navigating to the key file held in qubes-release. Then I copied the file to dom0 by using the command listed in documentation and then using the command that cartman4 listed above.

I was then able to install both whonix templates normally.

Good luck!

RPM-GPG-KEY-qubes-4.0-templates-community is also not in my clean install v4rc1 either.

Is there an easier way of gett this key, or cleaning the system, as the system won't install updates now, due to not finding this key :(

Thanks

@mannp do you have updated to current-testing ? if not, you can open a terminal in dom0:
sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-dom0-current-testing

this should include qubes-release-4.0-0.2 where the qubes-4.0-templates-community key is included.

@cartman4 yes I have and now things are broken. I am getting a python trace, re qubes prefs, that is stopping me from doing anything apart from running yum.

Thanks
