This happened to me when I had /tmp folder mounted with noexec flag. Is this the case for you as well? After I remounted the dir without the flag it worked. I Hope this helps.

I guess it's a different issue

May I get an output of uname -a? This suggests your architecture has no valid binaries for aapt2 to execute.

Can still reproduce the bug with apktool 2.10.0
