Ceph

I'm using this line in my apt-list:
deb https://download.ceph.com/debian-pacific/ bullseye main

At the moment, Pacific is not installable on Debian 11, and some automated upgrade processes (such as that used by the reporter) will remove packages without any way to reinstall them (i.e. taking down clusters). It is possible to install Quincy on Debian 11, so users could upgrade, but this is obviously not an ideal workaround.

Possible future mitigations:

• Keep the previous point release available in the download.ceph.com Debian repository (so that both a.b.c an a.b.c-1 are available).
• Keep a history of previous ceph.com Debian packages available on a separate archive server (so that the mirrors don't have to host the additional packages) - analogous to snapshot.debian.org.
• Carry out an installation test on a Debian 11 VM to a staging server as part of the release process.

I'm confused, it appears to me that python3-rados is in the Packages list and the correct version.
What am I missing here?

It appears that the packages for Debian Bullseye are missing from the repos. Debian Focal and bionic are there.

Causing issues for us as well.

We re-ran the package sync scripts. Bullseye should work now. sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you Christine!

Would this package sync fix the Octopus repo as well? Bullseye packages are missing from there as well.
