Thank you and sorry for taking your time. I did set the
tramp-remote-path correctly and it worked quite well for days. It was
permanent settings. Suddenly this error that `ls' cannot be found
started appearing and I could not connect to any device
anymore. Because I already solved all issues, it was no resolution and
I filed bug.

Then yesterday I also noticed that shell-file-name is /bin/sh and I
verified tramp-remote-path and I did not see the path that should be
there: "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/" so I added it again, and
now it works.

Thanks,
Jean
