Please describe the problem.

A new kind of an Android device -- a new attempt to make use of git-annex on it ;) This time BOOX Tablet Tab Ultra C Pro ePaper Tablet PC 10.3 with Termux installed from Google Play store and reporting

but installation failed with message similar to the one I get now if I try to install extracted git-annex:

and my foo here is not strong enough to deduce what it is really not happy about

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  • get boox
  • try to install git-annex from termux
