I ran tests on fresh template install (without installing updates, due to OpenQA test result for build 2025051404-4.3 · Issue #240 · Whonix/updates-status · GitHub), and got this error: Qubes OS openQA: qubesos-4.3-pull-requests-x86_64-Build2025051703-4.3-system_tests_whonix@64bit test results
The same on older template build (qubes-template-whonix-workstation-17-4.3.0-202405261335) works fine. R4.2 with qubes-template-whonix-workstation-17-4.2.0-202412112157 is okay: Qubes OS openQA: qubesos-4.2-update-x86_64-Build2025051511-4.2-system_tests_whonix@64bit test results, I haven’t tried the most recent build yet.

Reviewing the build log shows it was a download failure during template build:

If we could set environment variable
export anon_shared_inst_tb="closed"
then the build would fail closed. (Meaning, break the build. Not result an a Template without pre-installed Tor Browser.)
Do think it might be sufficient to add above export command to qubes-template-whonix?
This has been fixed in git and new tag created. Should not happen again in the next build.
