      Hello everyone, I need some help with this. I am trying to install the pixel desktop within Retropie. And then install qjoypad. Pixel installs but when I pull up the terminal to update everything I get this output. Sudo apt-get update
      dpkg-deb: error: <decompress> subprocess returned error exit status 2
      dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libavcodec-dev_7%3a4.1.10-0+deb10u1+rpt1_armhf.deb (--unpack):
      cannot copy extracted data for './usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libavcodec.a' to '/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libavcodec.a.dpkg-new': unexpected end of file or stream

      Errors were encountered while processing:
      /var/cache/apt/archives/libavcodec-dev_7%3a4.1.10-0+deb10u1+rpt1_armhf.deb
      /var/cache/apt/archives/python3-ptyprocess_0.6.0-1_all.deb
      E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

      Not sure what any of this is. Never had an issue like this before with the package manager. It doesn't let me install qjoypad. I am using a pi4 8gb with Experimental Pis default image for the Pi boy DMG. I know this works as there are tutorials all over the web referencing this.

      I have tried running apt --fix-broken install with no luck either. Please advise as I am stumped here.

        Looks like the files (.deb packages) downloaded by apt are corrupted. Try removing them with apt clean or directly removing the .deb files from /var/cache/apt/archives - then installing again the desktop.
