Getting a asdf_25.3 is not a kerl-managed Erlang/OTP installation message

[lobo-tuerto]

I just installed Erlang through asdf in a new installation (been doing it for years), but today I saw this message at the start of the installation process, then proceeded to install:

asdf_25.3 is not a kerl-managed Erlang/OTP installation
No build named asdf_25.3

The last rows from output of asdf erlang list-all:

25.2.3
25.3
26.0-rc1

The install command: asdf install erlang 25.3.

Any pointers or ideas on what it is about? 🤔

I get this error with every erlang version I choose back to 23.0. I want to run elixir 14. New laptop. No issues using asdf on my old lappy.

Something similar also happened for me.

(it works, but it is weird to see error message)

Hi there! 👋 I'm having the same problem. It works with 26.0, though. My output:

% export KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--without-javac --with-ssl=$(brew --prefix [email protected])"
% asdf install erlang

Is the problem simply that the script runs kerl delete installation "blah" before attempting to do the install, and kerl is reporting that it can't delete what's not there?

this line in the kerl script suggests that this may be the case

[bcardarella]

This is still printing the latest asdf and Erlang 27.0

[sagunji]

Same for 26.2.2
Did anyone find alternatives besides changing the version?
