You need to run ceph-deploy purge first..Even after that if you see those old packages are still there, you need to manually remove those before installation.

Version of ceph to be configured is 9.0.0-1. . . . . Errors were encountered while processing: ceph ceph-dbg ceph-mds ceph-mds-dbg ceph-resource-agents I followed the steps from the documentation to build Ceph packages from source: 1. ./autogen.sh 2. ./configure 3. make -j6 4. sudo dpkg-buildpackage Now I am trying to deploy using the same procedure mentioned in ceph-deploy (with the exception of the ceph-deploy install ceph step): 1. ceph-deploy new <hostname> 2. sudo dpkg -i * (in the folder containing the .deb files) At this step I get the error that is pasted above. I was able to follow the same procedure without any issues on 2 other machines but I am not able to identify the root cause. Any help from the community is appreciated!
