Description

tl;dr

Due to a missing dependency, /etc/ceph is not created when a Ceph library package (e.g. librados2, libcephfs1, etc.) is installed on a client machine.

longer version:

On a client machine (i.e. not a Ceph cluster node), typically only a ceph library package like libcephfs will be installed.

In order to actually connect to the Ceph cluster, programs linking to the library will look for configuration and keyrings in a directory called /etc/ceph, which is owned by the "ceph-common" package. Currently, ceph-common must be installed by hand - it is not brought in via the dependency chain.
