Systemcheck doesn’t work anymore on whonix workstation, using whonix stable proposed updates repository. Apt packages and dist upgrade are done without problems and there’s nothing to be updated, not sure what’s the problem. That’s what I get after running systemcheck gui.
ERROR: Check ‘privleapd --check-config’ result: System misconfiguration detected. No need to panic. This is not a severe issue. However, other tests may be affected due to this.
The following command:
privleapd --check-config ; echo $?
did not produce an empty output with an exit code of zero, indicating an unexpected result.
exit_code: 1

systemcheck script bug.
No panic. Nothing is broken. Just some rare condition has been hit.
Try again later. There is likely a solution for this problem.
