`pdflatex.fmt made by different executable version, strings are different (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)`

[Benjamin-Loison]

On Termux:

pdflatex test.tex

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.25 (TeX Live 2023/Termux) (preloaded format=pdflatex)
 restricted \write18 enabled.
---! /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/share/texlive/texmf-var/web2c/pdftex/pdflatex.fmt made by different executable version, strings are different
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)

With test.tex:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

        Test.

\end{document}

Weird as I remember having successfully ran pdflatex on another .tex if I remember correctly.

According to history | grep -i tex my memory is incorrect.

[*] You can now run the texlive installer by running

      termux-install-tl

    It forwards extra arguments to the install-tl script.

termux-install-tl

You will now be shown texlive's install-tl text gui.
You can customize settings, but you have to use the
default TEXDIR and custom binaries or else texlive
is unable to find and run the binaries.

Note that on interruption it restarts from the beginning it seems.

Running again completely termux-install-tl solved the issue.
