2 components are related here.
- A) Qubes dom0 UpdateVM settings
- B) Qubes dom0 sdwdate-gui qrexec settings
That is sdwdate-gui Qubes dom0 qrexec related. Could be a missing qvm-tag issue.
New wiki chapters being written just now.
$tag:whonix-ws-16-2 shouldn’t be used twice. At time of writing, these Qubes qrexec policy files have a comment on the top that parsing stops at the first match. (Which is a Qubes default. Unspecific to Whonix.)
Unless you’re adding tags using qvm-tags this isn’t what you want.
See documentation here:

This is yet another Qubes component that is indeed related here. Some documentation that maybe also needs some writing improvement here:
That is a Qubes dom0 behavior that would have to be discussed at / reported to Qubes as per What to post in this Qubes-Whonix forum and what not.
