Hi,

(Please CC me, I'm not subscribed to the list)

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

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.

I ended-up checking the list anyway and Andrei had the right pointer.

The package is uninstallable and this appear to be a know issue:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=939324

I created a patch for that and hopefully, this will be fixed in a couple
of days.

Thanks everyone for the pointers!

Bumping versions in stable is a no-go for Debian (Stable Release 
Managers), with very few exceptions for very specific packages that have 
few or no reverse dependencies (Firefox ESR and Chrome being notable 
examples).

    $ apt-cache rdepends erlang-base | wc -l
    283

See also:
https://www.debian.org/security/faq#oldversion
https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#browser-security

In general it is possible to upload a newer version of a dependency to 
backports as well.

For this particular case it appears the issue is with how the backport 
was made, so fixing it by bumping the version of its dependency is 
probably a bad idea.

Kind regards,
Andrei

I meant in backports. But I understand.
