[Feature]: Android 5/6 support? #338

Feature description

Hello,

Is proot-distro supporting Android 5/6 like termux-app is again? I understand package updates aren't possible, but until recently (not sure when), I was able to run proot-distro which I pulled with git. It required the --no-sysvipc option, but it worked. After updating (via git pull), I can't get log into an existing debian distro and I can't install a new one (tar: ... Cannot change mode to rwxrwxrwx: No such file or directory for many files).

Edit: I don't use most of the features of a full distro. I'm mainly just looking not to run a termux-app packaged SSH client from 2019 :)

Don't use latest git. It's WIP until next release and is not suitable for prod use currently.
