[erlang-questions] Error while upgrading Erlang 17.0 from 16B

[lloyd@REDACTED]

Hello,

I suppose we all have those days when our computers defy our intentions, hopes, and ambitions. Here's my third in as many days:

Following the "Installation Using Repository" instructions on https://www.erlang-solutions.com/downloads/download-erlang-otp, the system returned a very long error message while trying to upgrade Erlang 16B to 17.0 on Ubuntu 13.10:

Many thanks,

LRP
