The first step uses spaces to select the repository that needs to be replaced, and then selects the TUNA/BFSU image source in the second step. After confirming that there is no error, enter the mirror source and automatically complete the replacement.

If that no work, you can use the following commands to replace the source:

sed -i 's@^\(deb.*stable main\)$@#\1\ndeb https://mirrors.sosconf.org/termux/termux-packages-24 stable main@' $PREFIX/etc/apt/sources.list
sed -i 's@^\(deb.*games stable\)$@#\1\ndeb https://mirrors.sosconf.org/termux/game-packages-24 games stable@' $PREFIX/etc/apt/sources.list.d/game.list
sed -i 's@^\(deb.*science stable\)$@#\1\ndeb https://mirrors.sosconf.org/termux/science-packages-24 science stable@' $PREFIX/etc/apt/sources.list.d/science.list
