Following the installation instructions on the official website and I run into problems when installing erlang.
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
esl-erlang : Depends: libssl0.9.8 but it is not installable
Depends: libwxbase2.8-0 but it is not installable
Depends: libwxgtk2.8-0 but it is not installable
Recommends: erlang-mode but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
What can I do about this?

Check out asdf package manager and erlang solutions
erlangpackage for ubuntuNobbZ
Which Ubuntu do you use? And instead of
esl-erlangyou should installerlangfrom the ESL repositories.But for development usually
asdfis the better alternative.johanalkstal
