Qubes-Whonix update fails: repository changed its 'Origin' value from 'whonix' to 'kicksecure'

I just tried to update qubes-whonix, on QubesOS 4.2.2. Dom0 and debian-12 template updates complete successfully. However, whonix-workstation-17 and whonix-gateway-17 templates fail updating:

E: Repository 'tor+https://deb.kicksecure.com bookworm InRelease' changed its 'Origin' value from 'whonix' to 'kicksecure'
E: Repository 'tor+https://deb.kicksecure.com bullseye InRelease' changed its 'Label' value from 'Whonix' to 'Kicksecure'

I see this thread is quite similar (although in that thread, the error message flips the places of the words “whonix” and “kicksecure”). Is the remedy the same as offered in that thread?

Fixed.


Information for developers:

This needs to be done during the next release upgrade to avoid user manual action. But needs to be done because APT in Debian trixie started showing origin/label in its output.

Thanks Patrick. I was able to update whonix templates without changing any config file (or any other else) on my system. The Qubes Updater just worked this morning.
