Automatic Install not working in RetroPie menu - any way to manually install?

Post by Manguy888 »

Hello everyone,

I just put RetroPie 4.7.1 on my raspberry pi2. In trying to add the ScummVM package under Manage Packages->Optional Packages->ScummVM, it repeatably fails with the error "Failed to get package(s) lib-dev-2-4..." and lists several packages like this. I had to rebuild the pi once for another reason, and both times the error was the same, which tells me if wasn't a one-off with my build. I have been able to add other packages, so it is not an issue with internet access.

In a much older version of retropie I had, ScummVM was installed out of box and this wasn't an issue.

Anyone know how to get past this error? Or if I can't, is there a way to download a version from this site, transfer it over, and install it manually? I'm not sure which version to select from the long list of downloads.

Thanks in advance for any help
