            You've modified the apt source list and it doesn't find the package. Add to the list

            deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ stretch main contrib non-free rpi

            and the re-run apt update before re-trying the install.

                @asianchinaboi Edit the file and add the line at the end, similar to how you fixed the broken file in the first place.

                    @asianchinaboi No, it a text format file - how exactly did you fix the first error ?

                    You can use the nanoe text editor from the command line (exit EmulationStation first and plug in a keyboard) and edit the file, adding a line at the end with the contents I posted earlier

                    sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

                        I think your APT configuration is pretty broken at this point. How did you end up with this configuration ? I'd advise you to re-install.

                            You said:

                            Built From:SD image on retropie website

                            but those entries you have in the apt sources (and other packages you might have installed) are not from the RetroPie image - you probably added them yourself in order to install something else (?). Furthermore, you seem to have added i386 as an architecture on the system, to what purpose I don't know.

                            Fix your apt, the errors you get are not caused by RetroPie or its configuration.

                              @asianchinaboi Are you perhaps doing this on Ubuntu 20.04? I seem to recall reading that it has either removed or renamed that package python3-pyudev.

                                @muldjord Actually it was the other way around :) The python-pyudev package doesn't exist anymore (in Ubuntu 20.04), being transitioned topython3-pyudev now.

                                However, that's not the case here, since @asianchinaboi seems to have a Raspbian Stretch installation - according to both their account (SD image from RetroPie) and the contents of the apt sources list.

                                  @mitu could you send me a image of what /etc/apt is supposed to look like?

                                    My sources.list contains only the line I posted.
                                    /etc/apt/sources.list:

                                    deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ stretch main contrib non-free rpi

                                    In addition to that, there is also /etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list with:

                                    deb http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ stretch main ui

                                      sudo apt-get update
