            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.

              @BuZz The log above makes me believe that the emulationstation binary isn't in the right format. Am I right?

                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?
