I’m using Elixir on Arch Linux, and a recent update destroyed the capability of iex to retrieve earlier lines using the up arrow or the according readline command (Ctrl-P).
$ iex --version
Erlang/OTP 28 [erts-16.0] [source] [64-bit] [smp:12:12] [ds:12:12:10] [async-threads:1] [jit:ns]
IEx 1.18.4 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 27)
Is this an Arch Linux specific issue, because I’m already running Erlang/OTP 28, but IEx was built using Erlang/OTP 27?
