Deployment to Android device does not work

With the 5.6 branch of Qt, deploying to a device does not work from Qt Creator. The application is successfully installed to the device, but it does not launch.

The following message is displayed in the compile output:

Package deploy: Running command "/home/eskil/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb -s 3004158d90098100 pull /system/bin/sh: readlink: not found /home/eskil/dev/qt5-android-5/base/examples/widgets/richtext/textedit/app_process"

The device was a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 lite 7'' (SM-T110)
