Hash sum mismatch error

niccco

Hi All, I just got a new Raspberry PI 3 B+ and install the retropie just like the guide saids.

I can't do:

sudo apt-get update

I have tried with clean first and then update & upgrade and same error.

I know isn't a size issue, because with the command dh -h (or something like that) I was using only 4% with a 96% available (I got a 64GB kingston microSD in FAT32).

I don't know what else to do, I'm from Argentina, Buenos Aires (idk if that make some country restriccion).

Any help?

P.S.: I got error updating with the RetroPie Update Script Menu, it could't update rapidjson-dev , and when I try to install retropie-manager I got the same error "Could not install package... python-dev (and something else)".

EDIT: I'm connected by Wi-Fi 5GHZ

@niccco looks like a download or internet connection problem. Whaterror you get when running sudo apt update ?

niccco

@mitu I understand, but the PI is connected to WiFi, maybe is a WiFi 5GHz problem, or a WiFi (2.4 or 5.8) problem.

I will try to connect the PI by ethernet.

Thks for the reply! I will update later.

niccco

@mitu No, it didn't work, after I use the command

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get update

Update ends with no error.

sudo apt-get upgrade

Some files were downloaded (which tells me that I got internet), but, at the end it said:

"E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?"

@niccco post the complete error, not just the last line
. You might have some 3rd party repositories which have errors.

@mitu Where I can find the log files? I don't know the path.

And, if I enter into the path, how can I get that logs files to show them to u?

BTW, thank u very much for the help, I'm very excited about play old games, like Family, Sega and PS1!

@niccco if you don't have SSH enabled, then post a picture with the error lines. Otherwise, if you use SSH, you can copy and paste the error screen from Putty.

Edit: please also post the info asked in the read-me-first topic. If you installed the 4.4 image from the Retropie site, you wouldn't have these errors.

@mitu said in Hash sum mismatch error:

don't have SSH enabled, then

I just enabled SSH, and updated the thread info with read-me-first topic.

I have installed the 4.4 image from the RetroPie site, and I have internet connection, I made a ping to www.google.com and work.

I now with PuTTy connected to the RetroPie.

What should do I do? Where is the path to get the log files?

Looking into it, the web

http://espejito.fder.edu.uy/raspbian/raspbian/pool/main/u/unzip/unzip_6.0-21+deb9u1_armhf.deb

isn't working, I copied that URL in my Google Chrome browser and a error file was downloaded.

But

https://espejito.fder.edu.uy/raspbian/raspbian/pool/main/u/unzip/unzip_6.0-21+deb9u1_armhf.deb

Work's just fine, so look's like

sudo apt-get upgrade

command isn't working because that http isn't https.

EDIT:

I have changed the /etc/apt/source.list

and added

deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ stretch main contrib non-free rpi firmware
deb http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ stretch main ui

it seems it working now, the upgrade is doing downloading files without error.

But, is ok to use those repositories?

My guess? Is a problem for South American people (I'm from Argentina), that the source list is unupdated or wrong setted, because when I got the url it use http and not https, looks like that's the main reason.

I tried to install the retropie-manager (after the update & upgrade) and I got this error

Could not install packages(s): python-dev virtualenv.

EDIT 2:

I have it working, to workaround I just change /etc/apt/source.list.p/retropie.list (or something like that)

and added (can't edit because the Akinet detect that is a spam, but add deb before the url)

https://espejito.fder.edu.uy/raspbian/raspbian stretch main

After saving the file, I use sudo apt-get clean and sudo apt-get update and everything is working just fine (or it seem's like that).

The error is that the URL is unupdated, but isn't the best option.

Idk if I have to send an email to the RetroPie developers to update the repo url for Argentina.
