Apparently the install repository isn’t updated for Ubuntu 21.04 yet?
wget https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang-solutions_2.0_all.deb && sudo dpkg -i erlang-solutions_2.0_all.deb
produces a “no release candidate” error on my U21.04. Then
sudo apt-get install esl-erlang
also fails with
Unable to locate package esl-erlang
Please advise.
Please advise.

Have you tried using asdf? GitHub - asdf-vm/asdf: Extendable version manager with support for Ruby, Node.js, Elixir, Erlang & more · GitHub
Sebb
please try again to download and install
erlang-solutions_2.0_all.deb.The package is available and valid, should definitely install on ubuntu.
after that you need to
sudo apt-get updatebefore you install erlang.
see Installing Elixir - The Elixir programming language
I would not recommend ASDF for the first steps.

Same problem
Sebb
You’re right, there is no
hirsutefolder under Erlang solutions’ http://binaries.erlang-solutions.com/debian/dists/.benonymus
I am having the same problem, has anyone found a solution, or should I downgrade to an older Ubuntu version?
Sebb
rather than downgrading Ubuntu, I’d give asdf a try. The nerves project has a guide how to do that (skip the last step / install of nerves_bootstrap)

Also doing a +1 for asdf. Makes it so easy to dev for different versions of Elixir and Erlang

Half a year after 21.04 release (which is LTS by the way) they still didn’t update their build to provide hirsute packages. They just don’t care.
You can download 20.04 debs manually and install them, it works.

21.04 is not a LTS release please check the ubuntu website
https://ubuntu.com/blog/what-is-an-ubuntu-lts-release#:~:text=This%20article%20was%20updated%20in,question%2C%20what%20is%20an%20LTS%3F
You should avoid non LTS release for daily use.

I am also having a problem with installation of elixir in Ubuntu 21.10. This time the message for all the deb packages is similar to this one
Should I wait or should I install debian packages manually?
