Qubes OS Updater: additional update check after n days does not work
Qubes OS release
R4.2.2
Brief summary
The Qubes OS Updater GUI have a feature named "additional update check" to look for updates after n days in case a template is never used. This does not seem to work.
Steps to reproduce
Have a template VM used by a qube, do not start the qube within n days, wait for the qubes os updater GUI to show up, the qube should never be selected for update.
Expected behavior
qubes with a "last checked" date older than n days should automatically be checked for update.
Actual behavior
templates can be left forever without updates
the screenshot was taken 2024-08-21 and there should be an attempt to update qubes after 5 days per the configuration
Related: #8511
p.s.: This fix should practically resolve #8511 as well. Technically MAYBE is stale.
