Error installing Erlang (resolved)

Hi @fchiyenda and @nikotelhe

I'm continuing our conversation in a new topic, because the original topic name seems quite generic, and hopefully a more specific topic name will allow others to find this more easily.

The error that you're encountering when installing Erlang is caused by a broken third-party apt repository. Dimagi engineers have implemented a workaround to install the packages that CommCare needs, while the apt repository is broken.

Your environment's public.yml file should include the following versions for a production environment:

erlang: 1:23.0.2-2
rabbitmq_version: 3.8.5-1

Run update-code to get the new code changes.

Running deploy-stack should now install the right versions of Erlang.

Hi @nikotelhe

The step that's failing is where commcare-cloud adds the problemmatic Erlang apt repository. But (strangely?) I can't get this step to fail.

What happens if you remove the lines

erlang: 1:23.0.2-2
rabbitmq_version: 3.8.5-1

from your environment's public.yml file, and try deploy-stack again? Does it fail in the same place?

Hmmm. On second thoughts, I'm not sure my suggestion will be very helpful. You will need to leave the line

rabbitmq_version: 3.8.5-1

in public.yml, otherwise you won't be able to install RabbitMQ.

Sorry for the confusion.

Found the issue was a typo in the lines we had added to the public.yml file. fixed the line and deploy is running as expected.

Excellent! Thank you for the update.
