          I found the solution. I connected a keyboard and jit CNTRL + F4 to get a terminal. Then I entered the command:

          sudo dkpg --configure -a
          sudo apt-get update

          Then i returned to the steamlink install screen and it worked.

            sudo apt-get update

            In my case, I use:

            sudo dpkg --configure -a
            sudo apt update
