      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?

                                      @xFlesk I cannot see any problem with the code the script is running - something is interfering so you are not getting the expected data. However I am unable to reproduce. One more check -

                                      Please run this from terminal

                                      cd
                                      wget http://files.retropie.org.uk/binaries/jessie/rpi3/supplementary/emulationstation.tar.gz -Oemulationstation.tar.gz
                                      md5sum emulationstation.tar.gz
                                      ls -la emulationstation.tar.gz
                                      tar xvzf emulationstation.tar.gz
                                      rm -rf emulationstation emulationstation.tar.gz
                                      

                                      For whatever reason when the script does wget and pipes to tar to unpack, it's not getting the correct data - do you have somewhere else you could take your rpi to use a different net connection? I will also reboot our server, but it's all working fine here so I don't know what the problem could be.
