FWIW, I think this is an issue of backports needing a new build. https://salsa.debian.org/eugulixes-guest/elixir-lang/-/blob/cf069ab098dd36f11d9ee49f818e6ecbab4f7114/debian/control shows the same conditions, but I would guess that bumping erlang to 21 and rebuilding elixir would fix the issue. You might file this as a bug report. Best -- Brett M. Gilio bre...@gnu.org https://brettgilio.com/ E82A C026 95D6 FF02 43CA 1E5C F6C5 2DD1 BA27 CB87
