erlang upgrade produces this error,

ERROR: erlang-mode is broken - called emacs-package-install as a new-style add-on, but has no compat file.
Install erlang-mode for emacs

Why?

It’s not an error, it’s a warning, probably issued by your package manager.

I have never seen that message so far with arch Linux installing Erlang through pacman and asdf.

How do you install Erlang?

Edit: PS: I’m pretty sure you can ignore that warning unless you use Emacs.

I followed https://elixir-lang.org/install.html#unix-and-unix-like for Debian to install Elixir with Erlang.
