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 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
