RetroPie Setup can't update/install a lot of packages

@mitu cool. I have been having the same issue every time I redo my system. ( Doing alot of script building and testing).

It's been driving me crazy that it happens every time

[mitu]

Can you update now RetroPie-Setup and see if the issue re-appears during updates ?

[ExarKunIv]

@mitu seems to be working fine for me. most of my system was updated so not much has changed.
but it always seemed to aleast fail one time.

i will do a clean load on a spare card and let you know after that

@exarkuniv You can get the latest update log from $RetroPie-Setup/logs and post it on pastebin.com - I don't think a clean install is needed, as long as you're using the latest RetroPie-Setup script.

@mitu here you go. sorry i had to split it up in three parts due to the ports i have installed. i have not figured out how to have them see if they are running the current version or not

@mitu Just got the 4.7.11 update.

Most of the binaries were already up to date but no timeouts / errors occurred.

Thx for the prompt fix!

PS I did some digging on the curl timeout.

Running in verbose showed the beginning of curl output being spammed by

Expire in 0 ms for 6 (transfer 0x558820d06dc0)

According to Google it is a bug on certain curl version. Maybe this is the actual cause of the increase time of the curl

@exarkuniv I can't find any obvious errors - I see that binary packages are mostly not updated, probably because they're already up-to-date.

I don't think there's a curl error - you're just seeing some diagnostic/debug messages using verbose logging.

Thanks for the update. Let's hope this doesn't bugs users from now on. Btw, @BuZz is the one that fixed the timeout issue, not me.

@mitu just did a update with a clean load. went perfect. no fails or anything now.
@BuZz thanks for clearing this up so fast

@mitu , @BuZz Thank you both :)
