Issues with libsnappy-dev?

[pythonli]

Trying to install either ppsspp or lr-ppsspp and it keeps failing because it can't install the dependency of libsnappy-dev. Is there another repo I can add so I can install this? Been trying since Saturday night. Fresh image install on a Raspberry 4.

Your image was not uploaded, you've submitted the post before finishing to upload maybe.
I don't see any issues on a Pi4 system with libsnappy-dev installation. Can you post the installation log, from $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logs, on pastebin.com ?

Sorry.. here's the picture of when I try to installing it manually.

Looks like a problem with your mirror, the package installs fine here:

Ahh.. got it. Thanks for your help, I changed mirrors in sources.list and I'm good to go. Should have thought of that. That's what I get for doing a rebuild at 3 am on a Saturday night.

@pythonli Brand new Pi user here that is trying to install PPssPP and is having the exact same problem. Is there a way to change mirror in retropie?

[mitu]

@grocket12 The repository used by RasPI OS automatically redirects apt based on your location to the closest Rasbian repository mirror. If that mirror doesn't work for you, you can manually change the URL in /etc/apt/sources.list to one of official Raspbian mirror servers - https://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianMirrors.
