Recently Termux moved the primary Termux package repository hosting from Bintray to IPFS since Bintray has shut down on May 1st, 2021. This has created problems for users while running package installation and update commands with pkg or apt and their commands will fail with errors similar to the following:
E: The repository 'https://termux.org/packages stable Release' does no longer have a Release file.
N: Metadata integrity can't be verified, repository is disabled now.
N: Possible cause: repository is under maintenance or down (wrong sources.list URL?).
E: The repository 'https://dl.bintray.com/grimler/game-packages-24 games Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Metadata integrity can't be verified, repository is disabled now.
N: Possible cause: repository is under maintenance or down (wrong sources.list URL?).
E: The repository 'https://science.termux-mirror.ml science Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Metadata integrity can't be verified, repository is disabled now.
N: Possible cause: repository is under maintenance or down (wrong sources.list URL?).
If that is the case, then run termux-change-repo command and change your mirror mirror for the main repository. If you have installed other package repositories, like science, games and unstable, then you must select and change those mirrors as well. You can check your current mirrors by running the termux-info command.
If you receive errors like ...Release' changed its 'Origin' value from 'Bintray' to... after changing the mirror, then accept them.
After changing the mirror, it is highly advisable to run pkg upgrade command to update all packages to the latest available versions, or at least update termux-tools package with pkg install termux-tools command. Also make sure your device has internet connectivity and the repository URLs are accessible in a browser.
For step by step instructions on how to change mirrors, check here.
Changing the mirror may specially be needed if a user is still using bintray as the mirror or pkg upgrade command hasn't been run in a while to update termux package related scripts.
The URLs changing to weird characters with ipfs.io, 10.via0.com or dweb.link as the domain is normal due to IPFS usage.
Note that during certain times of the day, some mirrors like xeffys's may not be available, so either wait or change to a different mirror.
