Same issue but manual d/l
Same issue but manual d/l works fine.
Maybe something more like a mismatching md5 in the database.
same issue
I tried to update via platform twice last night. Each time the platform tried to download twice, then said it was not a valid package, it could not install.
Database Fixed
The MD5 for Stellarium was wrong in the online database. It's been fixed. Sorry about that.
