Trying to install elixir on a Raspberry pi using the official instructions leads to an error.
The sudo apt-key add erlang_solutions.asc command issues this message:
Warning: apt-key is deprecated. Manage keyring files in trusted.gpg.d instead (see apt-key(8)).
It’s just a warning, but things go wrong starting from that point…
It seems that this is the new way to import the key
cat erlang_solutions.asc | gpg --dearmor > erlang_solutions.gpg
sudo install -o root -g root -m 644 erlang_solutions.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/
And from that point on, it installs successfully.
Furthermore, I realized that it installs these versions, which are a tad outdated…
Erlang/OTP 23 [erts-11.1.8] [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [ds:4:4:10] [async-threads:1]
Elixir 1.10.3 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 22)
Would be nice to have the instructions and the binaries updated in my opinion… but I have no idea who to discuss this with, so that’s why I’m here.

Did it…
https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir-lang.github.com/pull/1605
Although it doesn’t address the fact that apt installs 1.10.3…

OS level repositories are maintained by third parties, in this case erlang solutions.
