pkg proot-distro can't locate the package

admittedly it's on a Nexus 5 , Android 6.0.1 which is marginaly not supported my termux.
but i installed octave 5.1 without a glitch, and many other packages, so maybe it's something easy to fix?

pkg install proot-distro

So why you're opening issue here? No support means: no packages & no issue fixes for unsupported Android versions.

P.S. proot-distro requires proot version with features (like SysV IPC) available only for Android 7+.

True, thanks
I thought something might be broken in locating packages. But apparently even if that was true it wouldn't help.
