Hi,

since a while, my workstation does not update anymore, here is the error I get.
Any suggestions how to proceed ? In Noob language please…
Gateway update works fine…

If this warning message is transient, it can be safely ignored. Otherwise, try one of the fixes below. Change your Tor circuit and/or try again later.

Did you uninstall (apt get purge / remove) any packages?

Hi,

thanks fo replying.
No, I did not uninstall anything, I only ever updated when whonix check asked me to.
I tried so often now to update, after several restarts etc., always the same result.
How should I proceed, simply install everything from scratch ?

Thanks.

That would be the easiest. Fixing this might be possible but too consuming to explain.
