Deployment fails with `/app/erts-12.3.2.1/bin/beam.smp ... symbol not found`

1

I am suddenly getting errors while deploying, even though I didn’t change anything in my dockerfile or any code that might affect deployment.

Error relocating /app/erts-12.3.2.1/bin/beam.smp: _ZSt28__throw_bad_array_new_lengthv: symbol not found
Error relocating /app/erts-12.3.2.1/bin/beam.smp: pthread_getname_np: symbol not found
Main child exited normally with code: 127

Hi! I have the same issue on my CI.

--> You can detach the terminal anytime without stopping the deployment
==> Release command detected: /app/bin/<app> eval <app>.Release.migrate
--> This release will not be available until the release command succeeds.

Hi. Federico’s coworker here.

I found the solution to our problem here:

In our case it was because we are using elixir:1.13.4-alpine and alpine:3.13.0
And recently elixir-alpine did a change and our alpine version doesn’t work anymore.
To fix the issue, we updated our dockerfile to use alpine 3.16.

FROM alpine:3.16.0 AS app

Now working as expected.
Hope this helps!
