Hi,
There appears to be a slightly gnarly packaging bug that prevents
upgrades from version 0.79.0ubuntu1, as supplied by Ubuntu 14.04
("Trusty"), to version 0.80.1-1trusty, as supplied under
https://ceph.com/debian-firefly/.
Specifically, the older version of the 'ceph' packages conflicts with
the newer 'ceph-common' package, and similarly the older version of the
'ceph-common' package conflicts with the newr 'ceph' one.
Attempting to update 'ceph' results in dpkg objecting with:
> dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/ceph-common_0.80.1-1trusty_amd64.deb (--unpack):
> trying to overwrite '/etc/ceph/rbdmap', which is also in package ceph 0.79-0ubuntu1
Similarly, attempting to update 'ceph-common' results in dpkg objecting
with:
> dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/ceph_0.80.1-1trusty_amd64.deb (--unpack):
> trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man8/ceph-rest-api.8.gz', which is also in package ceph-common 0.79-0ubuntu1
These are just the first conflicts that occur; it's conceivable there
are more.
Though this is not something I'm deeply familiar with, a first glance
suggests that a careful addition of "Replaces:" and "Breaks:" dependency
relations to the newer packages are necessary to suppress this error.
