after you throwing me those clues I got furthur but it still isnt working. It seems there are no i386 deb "python-pushy" packages in either of those ceph repo's. I also attempted using PIP and got pushy installed but the ceph-deploy debs still refused to install.
I built another VM with 64bit Debian 7 and the packages were found and installed however there is an error on compiling during install.
administrator@ceph-admin:~$ sudo aptitude install ceph-deploy
The following NEW packages will be installed:
ceph-deploy python-pushy{a}
0 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 53.3 kB of archives. After unpacking 328 kB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]
