Hi Kefu, First thanks for the response. I did try to install it manually using `apt-get` and i got the error `Unable to locate package ceph-build-deps_13.1.0-1_amd64.deb` I just tried the commands you provided above and I got similar errors. I thought of manually downloading the Debian package then, using `dpkg` to install it but I can't find the Debian package on the web. Ignoring the installation process just threw unmet dependencies errors. I am guessing these dependencies should have been installed after running the above command. Thanks, Courage.
