I downloaded the APK for Android 5 and tried installing it on a Nexus 5X running Android 6.0.1. The biggest issue is that pushing and pulling to SSH remotes fails with a "Permission denied" error from muxserver_listen() in OpenSSH. There are some other warnings and errors, listed below, would you like me to file separate bugs for each or track everything here? + +- The full error from ssh is "muxserver_listen: link mux listener /data/data/ga.androidterm/tmp/ssh/annex-user@192.168.0.3.Jg42jDbmIRBdbjDZ => /data/data/ga.androidterm/tmp/ssh/annex-user@192.168.0.3: Permission denied". Immediately after that there is an error message, presumably from git, that reads "fatal: Could not read from remote repository." I am able to SSH to the server from the app's command line, and get an interactive shell. I can successfully run 'git fetch `git remote`', but `git annex sync` runs into this issue. +- When switching between two repositories in the webapp, the page never loads after clicking on a repository. After trying the link a few times, I can see "git-annex: Daemon is already running." through the webapp's log viewer. However, if I stop the daemon through the webapp and start it again, then the webapp will indicate that I successfully switched to the other repository. +- There is a warning message in the console that reads, "WARNING: linker: git-annex has text relocations. This is wasting memory and prevents security hardening. Please fix." It appears that apps targeting SDK version 23 are not allowed to use text relocations, while apps targeting lower versions just get this warning. See http://developer.android.com/about/versions/marshmallow/android-6.0-changes.html#behavior-runtime +- There is a warning message at the top of every new terminal that says "Falling back to hardcoded app location; cannot find expected files in /data/app/ga.androidterm-1/lib". This issue doesn't appear to affect anything, but I thought I'd mention it for completeness. +- At various times during syncing, "\_\_bionic_open_tzdata_path: ANDROID_DATA not set!" and "\_\_bionic_open_tzdata_path: ANDROID_ROOT not set!" show up in the log. + +### What steps will reproduce the problem? +1.
