Solved.

Needed to install an extra Erlang package.

sudo apt install erlang-ssh

FWIW, watch out with the individual erlang-* packages; the BEAM wasn’t designed to be split like that so you’ll encounter explosions like this unexpectedly.

Agree, first of all I see the mismatch in the versions used:

Erlang/OTP 26
Elixir 1.14.0 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 24)

Even though I doubt this is the culprit. The culprit is most probably the old version of elixir using functionality that was changed in OTP-25/26, upgrading elixir version should solve this problem.

Elixir 1.14 doesn’t support OTP 26, so even if it’s not the source this should be addressed:

Thanks. I was not even paying attention to versions in detail when setting up the build server.

I will go back an install specific versions using ASDF rather than relying on Ubuntu repo.
