GnuPG / GPG how create an EdDSA key !? [ SOLVED ]

Hi,

I've seen some tutorial to create EdDSA key with Gnupg

gpg --full-gen-key

and it's supposed to allow me to create ECC key, but I see only

Please select what kind of key you want:
(1) RSA and RSA (default)
(2) DSA and Elgamal
(3) DSA (sign only)
(4) RSA (sign only)
(14) Existing key from card
Your selection?\

gpg --version show:

...
gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.27
Supported algorithms:
Pubkey: RSA, ELG, DSA, ECDH, ECDSA, EDDSA
...

Any idea what's wrong ?

I remember on some distros I had to add --expert, never checked why. Maybe was an old version.

gpg --expert --full-gen-key
