Hi,

For pythia-pgs this is an internet connection error.
Our server are up for the moment, so I guess that this is a problem related to your machine.
(do you have wget install?)

for “install update”, this is not important to have it working, but you also miss some “basic” linux package to have it working (in this case patch)

Cheers,

Olivier
