      [..]

      'others', the one's I have attempted to install;

      'ppsspp'

      It builds fine for me on Ubuntu 16.04.5 (LTS).

      'reicast'

      That's an upstream issue, but on 18.04 I can confirm there is no problem building it.

      'lr-ppsspp'

      It builds and installs error on 16.04 - the version I mentioned above.

      'lr-mame2010'

      It builds and installs without error on 16.04 - the version I mentioned above.

      I just assumed that if four aren't building that it could be an issue with the 'manage optional packages'

      Not that I know of. I've tested the packages you indicated and - except reicast - they're all building and installing ok on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS + latest updates. I cannot reproduce the errors you have.

        @mitu really? I'm almost certain I have the latest updates too.

          I see from the log you're using the latest LTS, but I cannot reproduce the errors building. Can you upload the logs from one of the packages that fail buildin - PPSSPP for instance ?

              Your errors are network related, the scriptmodule doesn't even get to the compiling part - the source download through git is interrupted.

              Try to fix your git errors and then try to re-install the emulator from source.

                  @muttleyloz Maybe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Firewall is to blame then. Nothing we can do regarding your internet connection etc.

                    @buzz it's a possibility, but I can access the github site usually and dl other packages. seems strange it affects only some packages.

                      @muttleyloz Depends on the repo and the objects. PPPSSPP and its dependencies pack some pretty large objects. Googling around suggests

                      • compile git with openssl instead of gnutls
                      • modify the git parameters for http communication - i.e. http.postBuffer.

                      Try one of these and see if that improves the situation.

                        @buzz also, a few days ago I could download and build these packages on a different distro, LMDE, Cindy 3, No issue till I ran into Libpng 12-0 issues. I think its a system issue.
