EmulationStation Update broken? Line 21: No such file or directory

@timothee your emulationstation is clearly not installed.
Run retropie_setup again and go to
Manage Packages>>core>>emulationstationand install it. See if it'll give some error message. -
@meleu I want to weigh in on this. @meleu these posts are accurate. Last week I tried to make a new build from a fresh install. I got the same error twice. The install worked after initial install to the SD card. ES was installed. I tried to update all packages and got the same error. I decided to say forget it and just reinstalled one of my other builds and started modifying it. I know my way around these builds enough, so it is not user error, I was hoping the error was just that the bianary was getting updated at the time, so I didn't post about it. Hind sight 20/20 I should have alerted everyone.

@TMNTturtlguy what does the log say? (they are at
~/RetroPie-Setup/logs/) -
@meleu I am away for the weekend without my pi! Sorry but I can't check.

Erm, sorry for the short message @meleu, I was eager to paste that log coz I have the SD card with me and could check it. That was the log for when I ran the "Update from binary" (per my last message).
I have not yet tried to uninstall and reinstall emulationstation. I'll give that a shot later when I'm free.
Also just to reiterate: I have so far got the error 100% of the times on update-all or update-emulationstation only, so I reckon this must be a easily reproducible case.

same problem here. cant start my pi after update 4.2.3:
"/usr/bin/emulationstation: line 21: /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation.sh No such file or directory"
please help. doeas developers know about it ? it is a major issue. do not update your retropie or it crash.
-
@xFlesk as a workaround you can install/update from source. But it's very time consuming...
-
many times i've been updating retropie without a problems, this is first time incident ;) i think something was misstaken during the compilation and developers allready know about it and working to fix that.
yes, install from source take like forever ;) as for now im updating instalation-script with hope to see another update and backuping all my roms, saves, configs, gamelists, downloaded images etc. (just in case ;) )
also:
im very sad about all of this :( my retropie is by far the best console ever and im playing on it every single day ;) developers !! talk to us ;) We suffer here :D -
@meleu I don't think that's the problem - seems ok here. Network issue could also cause a problem like that - did you test it ?
Everyone should make sure all their system packages are up to date, in case there is some odd case of some format difference due to versions of tar etc.

I was away from my pi when I saw these reports. But I've just got home and tested (Update from binary). And it is indeed working just fine.
-
i have no internet problems. i've tried to remove emulation station and install it again but the same error occures.
"/usr/bin/emulationstation: line 21: /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation.sh No such file or directory"
i start to thinking about install fresh retropie and simply not update but its pointless since i like to have all new and updated. im stuck now.

just checking the versions here:
pi@retropie:~ $ tar --version tar (GNU tar) 1.27.1 ... pi@retropie:~ $ gunzip --version gunzip (gzip) 1.6 ...@xFlesk @timothee can you guys check those versions on your end?
-
i've checked. have the same as on your example. im trying now install again from binary.
i noticed new update came out (like 23 minutes ago). we will see if it helps.
edit:
unfortunetly it does not help. still same error. -
@xFlesk does your ISP have a transparent http cache / proxy?
