I am using proot with other distributions. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with Debian or Ubuntu environment and can not suggest any solution.

Biswa96 commented 2 months ago

Some hint. The dpkg-reconfigure locales command fails in https://github.com/termux/proot-distro/blob/master/distro-plugins/debian.sh script. I have been using locale-gen command to generate locale.

Ah i see

Even better, another issue.

That could be issue in your system only. proot-distro depends on proot.

sylirre commented 2 months ago

Are you playing with non-native architectures or custom system versions so proot-distro suddenly started to fail for you?

It did not receive updates for couple of months which means components proot-distro script itself, Debian rootfs and debian.sh plugin script did not change and supposed to work. It was tested by me before release, also it is known that specifically "debian" distro works for some other people.

I can't confirm the presence of issue on up-to-date Termux:

Proot Distro is just a bash script wrapper around proot. If proot fails on your device, so does proot-distro. In your case it looks like failure happened right during unpacking of rootfs archive because proot used even to execute tar -Jxf command to be able extract hard links.

Also pay attention that support doesn't cover modifications of Proot Distro components. If you used to make changes to $PREFIX/etc/proot-distro/debian.sh, you are on your own if did mistakes.
