Termux-app: pkg upgrade fails with "var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing"
Hello, when running pkg upgrade I got the following error: E: Archives directory /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing. - Acquire (13: Permission denied) and it doesn't upgrade... I checked and the directory doesn't exists... I created it and try to upgrade again but got the same error. After restarting termux, the directory disappeared...

Just a wild shot, but does running apt clean fix anything?

In termux,
mkdir -p /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/var/cache/apt/archives/partial
apt-get autoclean
This works :)

Why is this closed? I'm still having this issue over and over. I'm on the Android. I can install a package once but if I try the day after it stops working again. dg28gadhavi solution works but it's a pain to have to do it everytime.

Just don't mess with stuff in $PREFIX and you won't have to do it everytime.
