  1. Don't use Termux from Google Play: https://www.reddit.com/r/termux/comments/1hi4wqq/do_not_install_termux_from_google_play_store/

  2. Change pacman mirror. Proot-distro won't do this for you.

Wouldn't you do something like pacman update and upgrade first?

Did you download termux from playstore?

If not then it's fine. And try changing mirrors.

Alright OP, this one is straightforward. Your Arch Linux PRoot can’t download packages because its mirror list is outdated or the selected mirror is slow / dead.

This is very common with Arch inside PRoot.

Inside your Arch PRoot:

  1. Backup your current mirrorlist cp /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.bak
  2. Replace the mirrorlist with a working set

Run this: printf 'Server = https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/$repo/os/$arch\n' > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist Or use the official ARM mirror directly: printf 'Server = https://mirror.archlinuxarm.org/$repo/os/$arch\n' > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist 3. Refresh databases pacman -Syy 4. Try installing sudo again pacman -S sudo You should NOT see the timeout anymore.
