I see that elpher (clever name) is available on MELPA
_but_ the version that shows up is 20200919.1025,
with

   Status: Incompatible because it depends on Emacs 26.2.

and true enough, I'm on

  GNU Emacs 26.1 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) of
  2019-09-23, modified by Debian

and on the homepage [1] they refer to a gopher link [2]
for the source, so catch 22.

BTW, why is the package manager showing me packages
that are incompatible?

BTW 2, that line would look better like this

   status: incompatible, depends on Emacs 26.2
