        @cagiraudo delete the files before the update, update the updates.type=gitlab/82-can-t-set-timezone in recalbox.conf and change the timezone per manager, you will see that it works.

            @azvarel @Substring Should i update again to unstable 4.1 and then to the gitlab/82-can-t-set-timezone or deleting the files will work since i am already in the test branch?

              @cagiraudo atualiza para unstable 4.1, after update, delete the files, then upgrade to gitlab... will work.

                      @Substring i tried 10 times yesterday and the same error.

                      Maybe i can't back to the unstable becouse i am in a branch?? Or something else, but i can't update again

                        @cagiraudo no you can switch back to unstable (and not gitlab/unstable). I manually tried to download ths file, had no problems.

                        Have you tried to download it from your webbrowser ?

                            @cagiraudo you need i think 5 files to make an update : root and boot.tar.gz, their sha1 file each, and the root.list. no recalbox at hand now, so i can't say for sure

                              @Substring I managed to update to 4.1, then i deleted the 2 files /etc/timezone and /etc/localtime. I updated to the test branch but it still have the wrong date:

                              date
                              Tue Jan 1 11:52:28 ART 1980

                              😞

                                Did you do it on SSH mount -o remount,rw / and then deleted the files?

                                if he did and continued it is strange.

                                So you do not waste any more time, you can do is to manually edit these files by accessing them with winscp /etc/localtime edit link and /etc/timezone editing with notepad++

                                  I did mount -o remount,rw / before deleting those files, i confirmed they deleted before updating.

                                  I don't get the second part, do you want me to manual edit the localtime and timezone files? I use linux, but i will be able to do it, but i don't get what change should i do

                                  I made cat to those files and had:
                                  cat timezone
                                  America/Argentina/Cordoba

                                  ls -lh localtime
                                  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Dec 31 22:19 localtime -> /var/localtime

                                  cat localtime

                                    List of timezone (I do not know what city / region you are, I can not say straight)
                                    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones

                                    To see my timezone I can use (in terminal) the command:

                                    `cat /etc/timezone
                                    America/Recife

                                    The answer was accurate, I'm in America/Recife timezone.

                                    To change to the timezone from Recife to Cordoba we will check the name of this time zone doing:

                                    ls /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Argentina

                                    Now look in the list displayed by the desired timezone. We can also search using a search keyword, for example "Cordoba", with the command:

                                    ls /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Argentina | grep Cordoba
                                    Cordoba

                                    See that in the case I looked for the word "Cordoba" and gave very well. The response to the command indicates that the file named "Cordoba" exists.

                                    Well, now that we already know the correct file name, let's change the contents of /etc/timezone using your favorite text editor, as in:

                                    vi/etc/timezone

                                    or

                                    gedit /etc/timezone

                                    or

                                    mcedit /etc/timezone

                                    Then change from America/Recife to America/Argentina/Cordoba.

                                    Now to update using the TZ variable do:

                                    export TZ = America/Argentina/Cordoba

                                    Let's check with:

                                    date

                                        you're not supposed to manually edit anything, the update should have added /etc/timezone and /etc/localtime as symlinks to /var/timezone and /var/localtime, both of the latter files are set at recalbox root

                                          @Substring I know it is not the correct way to do it, but it was this way that I solved it before the gitlab update that you gave me and when I came back to the unstable version, again correct that way and it is working, as I described here https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/issues/1264
