The "sources.list.d" directory at /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/etc/apt/sources.list.d/"
contains 2 repository files "game.list" and "science.list".

Using nano,vim or another text editor, comment out the repository url(s) in these file with "#".
For example: "#deb https://ld.bintray...."

Note: In the 403 error message, note the repository url causing the error during your "apt update" command.After finding the repository url causing the 403 error, try to do the same by commenting out that specific repository url in the source.list file and/or directory to make it inactive.

Le répertoire "sources.list.d" à /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ "
contient 2 fichiers de dépôt "game.list" et "science.list".

En utilisant nano, vim ou un autre éditeur de texte, commentez les URL du référentiel dans ces fichiers avec "#".
Par exemple: "#deb https: //ld.bintray ...."

Remarque: dans le message d'erreur 403, notez l'URL du référentiel à l'origine de l'erreur lors de votre commande "apt update". Après avoir trouvé l'URL du référentiel à l'origine de l'erreur 403, essayez de faire de même en commentant cette URL de référentiel spécifique dans le fichier source.list fichier et / ou répertoire pour le rendre inactif ou pour désutiliser cette URL de référentiel spécifique.

I'm having this issue right now. Does it mean the server is overloaded again?

For example: "#deb https://ld.bintray...."

Which editor comes pre-installed? I can't edit those files because there is no nano or vim installed.

EDIT: Well, after catting those files, I see they only have one URL each (the URL with the issue), so it would be pointless to have zero URLs right?

EDIT: In lieu of not having a text editor available by default, I used commands like sed -i 's/deb /#dbe /g' game.list` to comment out the lines in each files.

That worked!

I encountered this issue today, I would like to know why this issue happens, I do not have two lines in my source.list just one line and this issue still happens, nano was pre-installed for me however vim was not.

Edit: Misunderstood the workfix proposed here I edited "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/etc/apt/sources.list.d/{game.list, science.list}" and this fixed my issue.

If someone facing the issue when you run
pkg install .... or pkg update
and get error 403 forbidden -
The simple fix for that:
run
apt upgrade
After that everything will work just fine.

I suggest u to use tool Termux-fix

$git clone https://github.com/DARK-EAGLE-WARRIOR/Termux-fix.git

I created this tool from my same error
💯 It will also work for you also

The problem here is that it uses termux.net domain which it is being used in Legacy environments, which in Newer Termux versions uses https://termux.org

---

use this solution as suggested
termux/termux-packages#6726

P.S. replace termux.net with grimler.se with your script

$git clone https://github.com/DARK-EAGLE-WARRIOR/Termux-fix.git
This tools install on our bin so
It can be use when error came

Not sure what the problem is.
But reading error messages helps.

Thank you !!!

[clementherve]

So, I came across this issue, too.
I eventually changed the package repo URL (/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/etc/apt/sources.list) to "deb https://packages.termux.org/apt/termux-main/ stable main" (see https://packages.termux.org/).
I am leaving this here if it can be useful to anyone!
