Problem description

When trying to install nix with the multi-user installation inside a debian proot-distro instance, during the installation process, the whole Termux application suddenly crashes with no errors. I have been able to get this to happen consistently.

Steps to reproduce the behavior.

  1. Open a fresh install of Termux
  2. pkg update && pkg upgrade
  3. pkg install proot-distro
  4. pd install debian
  5. pd login debian
  6. apt update && apt upgrade
  7. sh <(curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon # taken from nix website, https://nixos.org/download/
  8. Eventually during the installation process, Termux crashes.

What is the expected behavior?

nix would install on debian (or at the very least fail without crashing the whole Termux app)

System information

  • Termux application version: 0.118.3
  • Android OS version: 16 (OneUI 8.0)
  • Device model: Samsung Galaxy A54
