Hi,

I cannot figure out why I can't install elixir from backports:

     $ sudo debootstrap buster buster
     $ sudo chroot buster /bin/bash
     # echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-backports main" >>
/etc/apt/sources.list
     # apt update
     # apt install erlang-base
     # dpkg -l erlang-base
     ii  erlang-base    1:21.2.6+dfsg-1 amd64        Erlang/OTP virtual
machine and base applic
     # apt install -t buster-backports elixir
     The following packages have unmet dependencies:
      elixir : Depends: erlang-base:any (>= 1:20) but it is not
installable or
                        erlang-base-hipe:any (>= 1:20) but it is not
installable
     E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

(I've cropped all expected text)

I have erlang-base:amd64 (1:21.2.6+dfsg-1) installed but elixir won't
install because it depends on erlang-base:any (>= 1:20)? Why is it not
working?


I would follow the instructions on the Elixir site:

    https://elixir-lang.org/install.html
