And your commnand setupTermuxArch.sh --sysinfo isn't working( command not found)

@Arindamname more information is wanted to better understand this issue. There is no error like this on aarch64 and armv7. Use bash setupTermuxArch.sh sysinfo to give the information that was requested.

along with system information.

Use termux-info too. More information about the device architecture is wanted to turn puzzle into a potential resolution. Do not hesitate to add screenshots.

Hello!

Since this issue comes second when searching for "archlinux execv not found", Here's the solution that worked for me, even though it is unrelated to this repository:

sudo pacman -S pacman-contrib

Remember: don't do partial upgrades, and upgrade more often.

I hope that helps some people.

PS: If it annoys you, feel free to remove the comment even without telling me, @SDRausty. :)

This commit adds support for pacman-contrib in all available architectures. Thank you for sharing @jlebonzec 🔔
