Hi, We are facing problem that ceph-deploy purge is uninstalling latest Mellanox ofed driver packages. Digging down more we found libvirt-bin is dependent on librados2/librbd1. So, here is what happening. 1. Mellanox ofed driver has a dependency on the libvirt-bin* 2. purging librados2/librbd1 is removing libvirt-bin and resulting the removal of the Mellanox driver package as well. Here is what I found. http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/devel/libvirt-bin ubuntu@ip-10-15-16-211:~$ apt-cache rdepends librados2 librados2 Reverse Depends: librbd1 ceph-common radosgw ceph python-ceph qemu-utils qemu-system-x86 qemu-system-sparc qemu-system-ppc qemu-system-misc qemu-system-mips qemu-system-arm libvirt-bin ceph-test rbd-fuse radosgw qemu-utils qemu-system-x86 qemu-system-sparc qemu-system-ppc qemu-system-misc qemu-system-mips qemu-system-arm python-ceph libvirt-bin librbd1 librados2-dbg librados-dev ceph-common ceph ceph-test tgt rbd-fuse radosgw qemu-utils qemu-system-x86 qemu-system-sparc qemu-system-ppc qemu-system-misc qemu-system-mips qemu-system-arm python-ceph libvirt-bin librbd1 librados2-dbg librados-dev ceph-common ceph So, I am curious why libvirt-bin has a depencey on librados2/librbd1 ? Also, how come we get rid of this issue ? Ceph-deploy should not remove any package other than ceph's.
