Retropie - Update Script error

[shredman]

Hi,

I'd like to update my Retropie installation to the actual version but the Update Script in ./retropie_setup.sh failed with the following error message:

My Raspberrypi 3B+ is up to date with debian stretch

PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="9"
VERSION="9 (stretch)"
VERSION_CODENAME=stretch
ID=raspbian
ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianForums"

Linux raspberrypi 4.19.66-v7+ #1253 SMP Thu Aug 15 11:49:46 BST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux

trying to read the retropie version from an ssh console gives the following output that seems to me, that something is wrong with the retropie version.

If I start sudo ./retropie_setup.sh it shows version Number 4.6.8 running on Debian 9.13 Stretch

something wrong with my setup ?

When exactly did you try this update ? The sdl2 related files that fail to download in your screenshot are available right now (might not have been yesterday).

Hi,

I tried it yesterday and today. Are you able to update the retropie script without an errormessage like this ?

is it possible to install a fresh retropie without loosing all the emulator and retroarch settings ?

Yes, I can update using the same environment.

Yes, but you'd be having the same error - the install process will also download those packages.
