+This error broke pi-apps. To fix it, the Pi-Apps developers added something to the 'sudo apt update' command: --allow-releaseinfo-change.
+This flag allows the repository migration to succeed, therefore allowing Pi-Apps to work again.

+Unfortunately for you, your operating system is too old for apt to understand this flag we added. Please upgrade your operating system for a better experience. Raspbian Stretch is unsupported and many apps will not install.
