      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.

                                            @timothee Looks like your router has something on it interfering / blocking or something else like that - nothing I can do about that.

                                            Could be some antivirus also - don't know.
