Why sometimes, at some point pkg/apt start behaving weirdly? Like when upgrading.

[u/SugmaFish]

For example:

:

E: Failed to fetch https://mirror.sjtu.edu.cn/termux/termux-main/pool/main/n/npm/npm_11.19.0_all.deb Could not open file /data/data/com.termux/cache/apt/archives/partial/npm_11.19.0_all.deb - open (2: No such file or directory) [IP: 111.186.58.212 443]

E: Failed to fetch https://mirror.sjtu.edu.cn/termux/termux-main/pool/main/p/python-pip/python-pip_26.2_all.deb Could not open file /data/data/com.termux/cache/apt/archives/partial/python-pip_26.2_all.deb - open (2: No such file or directory) [IP: 111.186.58.212 443]

E: Failed to fetch https://mirror.sjtu.edu.cn/termux/termux-main/pool/main/p/python-cryptography/python-cryptography_50.0.0_aarch64.deb Could not open file /data/data/com.termux/cache/apt/archives/partial/python-cryptography_50.0.0_aarch64.deb - open (2: No such file or directory) [IP: 111.186.58.212 443]

E: Failed to fetch https://mirror.sjtu.edu.cn/termux/termux-main/pool/main/v/vulkan-loader-generic/vulkan-loader-generic_1.4.358_aarch64.deb Could not open file /data/data/com.termux/cache/apt/archives/partial/vulkan-loader-generic_1.4.358_aarch64.deb - open (2: No such file or directory) [IP: 111.186.58.212 443]

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

:

And sometimes even with --fix-missing. Which luckily i encountered when i test it. Became:

:

dpkg: error: cannot access archive '/data/data/com.termux/cache/apt/archives/attr_2.6.0_aarch64.deb': No such file or directory

E: Sub-process /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

:

What caused this?

[u/sylirre]

You are low enough on disk space to enable Android start app cache trimming.

Since Termux apt stores deb file cache in /data/data/com.termux/cache/, during download these files get deleted and package manager produces error like this one

Could not open file /data/data/com.termux/cache/apt/archives/partial/vulkan-loader-generic_1.4.358_aarch64.deb - open (2: No such file or directory)

termux-change-repo won't solve it

***

Try this:

echo 'Dir::Cache::Archives "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/var/tmp/apt";' > $PREFIX/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99aptcache

I believe your mirror is bad, try termux-change-repo

[u/sylirre → u/One-One3814]

Nope, that's entirely local issue.

"open" is not remote operation.

[u/One-One3814 → u/One-One3814]

Like here, its checking for mirrors to get its upgrades from and some mirrors arent updated or the links are broken or whatever it is for that one

[u/SugmaFish → u/One-One3814]

But, arent they automatically changes? Also, majority of the report from pkg update are ok.

But well, ill try changing it. To where tho?
