Error when issuing `apt update` in my Pixel 1st Gen

[omata]

Hello,

I just installed Ubuntu in termux, so the first thing that I did was apt update to get my repo databases populated. but it is returning the following:

$ apt update
E: setgroups 65534 failed - setgroups (38: Function not implemented)
E: setegid 65534 failed - setegid (38: Function not implemented)
E: setegid 0 failed - setegid (38: Function not implemented)
E: setgroups 0 failed - setgroups (38: Function not implemented)
Reading package lists... Done
E: setgroups 65534 failed - setgroups (38: Function not implemented)

E: setgroups 0 failed - setgroups (38: Function not implemented)
E: Method gave invalid 400 URI Failure message: Failed to setgroups - setgroups (38: Function not implemented)
E: Method http has died unexpectedly!

Best regards,

did the installation (ubuntu.sh) yield any errors? my setup is OK for the most part and I'm able to 'apt update', though I do get these group warnings upon startup.

suggestion: try this variant called ubuntu-in-termux.

Same issue on pixel 2 ... maybe it was that security patch that was pushed out a few days ago... likely this will be an issue on all phones whenever their updates are ready
