asn1 comes from your erlang install, we don't ship it, but it implies you're missing standard parts of erlang. I'm assuming debian or ubuntu, therefore "apt-get install erlang-asn1" and probably others. The policy that forces package maintainers to subdivide erlang because it's possible but not wise irks me.
