      I just got an error trying to update to the latest version of Retroarch from setup-script::

      Any ideas on what I need to do to fix that? My build did not load again when I restarted.

          @mitu Here is the log:

          https://pastebin.com/1VuTgrsb

          I'm on a Pi 5 4gb board running all the latest updates up until this last one which wouldn't work.

            The update actually worked, the error is thrown by the core info files update, which is done after the RetroArch binaries are created/updated.

            You seem to have modified locally some of the .info files, that's what the error explicitely tells you:

            ....
            M	yabause_libretro.info
            Your branch is behind 'origin/master' by 3 commits, and can be fast-forwarded.
              (use "git pull" to update your local branch)
            From https://github.com/libretro/libretro-core-info
               60d0347..8f34027  master     -> origin/master
            error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
            	4do_libretro.info
            	DoubleCherryGB_libretro.info
            	chailove_libretro.info
            	ep128emu_core_libretro.info
            	fake08_libretro.info

            Please commit your changes or stash them before you merge.

              @mitu I don't think I have ever modified any .info files, or at least not on purpose. What can I do to fix this? Should I just delete all the .info files so it re-installs them?

                Maybe not explicitely, but external scripts that you installed/run may have modified the files. I'm updating regularly using various configurations and there haven't been any issues like yours in the last year.

                You can delete the cores folder and it the .info files will be re-downloaded on future updates.
