Termux-packages: Can't not update because conflict with libandroid-support::arch64

[bkdwt]

Hi. I trying to update the packages for weeks, but I can't because termux found a conflict with the package libandroid-support::arch64.

Steps to reproduce
Just do pkg update or pkg upgrade.

Expected behavior
Packages are updated to last version.

Additional information

5 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.

E: This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential package libandroid-support:aarch64 due to a Conflicts/Pre-Depends loop. This is often bad, but if you really want to do it, activate the APT::Force-LoopBreak option.

@bkdwt I managed to remove those conflict package manually first, then we had to set FAILSAFE SHELL PATH by export PATH=/sbin/:/vendor/bin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin:$PATH to make shell commands keep working on pkg upgrade ...

Hi, it seems that we unfortunately have made changes between last time you upgraded and now that causes these problems.

Easiest fix would be to run rm -rf $PREFIXand then restart the app, this will leave all files in $HOME intact but remove all installed packages. When you restart the app it will download the bootstraps with core packages again and give you a fresh installation, except that everything you have in $HOME is saved

Thank you very much! rm -rf $PREFIX has solved this problem. :+1:
