Deprecated libssl1.1 dependency

[Rafaeltheraven]

Somewhere in the build process you have a dependency on libssl1.1. libssl1.1 has been deprecated for a while and also has a number of CVEs (which is why it is not longer available in Ubuntu).

I don't know where this dependency comes from, but it may be a good idea to upgrade.

This seems to be an issue for Ubuntu only - Debian seems to have no such requirement. What versions of Elixir, Erlang, and the OTP did you compile with (and where did you retrieve them?)

Also, have you tried if the provided Debian release doesn't accidentally work on Ubuntu?

mix --version
Erlang/OTP 25 [erts-13.2] [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [ds:8:8:10] [async-threads:1] [jit:ns]

Mix 1.13.4 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 25)

elixir --version
Erlang/OTP 25 [erts-13.2] [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [ds:8:8:10] [async-threads:1] [jit:ns]

Elixir 1.13.4 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 25)

These were simply retrieved using sudo apt install elixir (as described in https://elixir-lang.org/install.html)

After running mix deps.get we get the following stacktrace.
