But now I get a problem with proot-distro. While backing up, I got a few warnings about socket files related to proot-distro's ubuntu.
Now, I am unable to login to it, remove it, or uninstall/install it.

The error comes from this line https://github.com/termux/proot-distro/blob/8ebee022a96da441218ab49eeebba45112a6b340/proot-distro.sh#L720 The path is mentioned in the

Can't find the directory to add the etc folder
Should I make one?
