help: installing erlang-mini on raspbian/jessie

[Rafael Gonzalez]

Hi all

I'm new to the world of Erlang and though that nothing could be better than starting with a brand new RPi3 to play with

I have followed the instructions given in the website, however I get a depdendency error for 

an apparently missing  erlang-handbook

package.

I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to fix this

Reply to myself:

erlang-mini is a meta-package that only includes several packages.

I just downloaded the deb file, inspected the dependencies and instelled them one by one except erlang-handbook

But I think the proper thing to do is upload erlang-handbook in this repo or remove the dependency.
