Hi all,

I’m trying to install Elixir 1.18.3 with asdf on macOS Catalina (10.15.7), but the installation fails because the downloaded archive is empty. Here’s the full output:

sudo asdf install elixir 1.18.3
==> Checking whether specified Elixir release exists...
==> Downloading 1.18.3 to /Users/x/.asdf/downloads/elixir/1.18.3/elixir-precompiled-1.18.3.zip

  the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of /Users/x/.asdf/downloads/elixir/1.18.3/elixir-precompiled-1.18.3.zip or
        /Users/x/.asdf/downloads/elixir/1.18.3/elixir-precompiled-1.18.3.zip.zip, and cannot find /Users/x/.asdf/downloads/elixir/1.18.3/elixir-precompiled-1.18.3.zip.ZIP, period.

It looks like asdf is downloading a zero-byte file instead of the actual precompiled release.

What I’ve tried so far:

• Updated asdf itself (git -C ~/.asdf pull) and the Elixir plugin (asdf plugin-update elixir)

• Removed stale downloads in ~/.asdf/downloads/elixir/1.18.3/

• Retried with ASDF_DEBUG=1 (still shows a zero-byte download)

• Installing different Elixir versions (e.g. 1.18.4, 1.18.3, and earlier) — all give the same result

Questions:

• Is this a known issue with the precompiled Elixir 1.18.3/1.18.4 releases on GitHub?

• Or could it be something wrong with my local setup (curl, TLS, certificates)?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
