On Ubuntu LTS 10.04, ceph-resource-agents package depends on resource-agents that seems to have not shown up until 11.10 so there is a dependency problem:

nwatkins@piha:~/Projects/ceph$ sudo apt-get install ceph-resource-agents
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
ceph-resource-agents is already the newest version.
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ceph-resource-agents : Depends: resource-agents but it is not installable
                        Recommends: pacemaker but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).


Aside from that dependency problem, is it safe to completely omit the ceph-resource-agents package for a Ceph install?

Yeah.  It just has the ocf resource agent hooks, which you probably don't 
need.

That package is a recommends, right?  This doesn't break the ceph package 
itself?

I think so, but it does show up in the 10.04 repositories without its dependency being available via aptitude. I wan't sure if that is the expected behavior, or if it should only show up in 11.10 and later.

Thanks,

It's not even a recommends. Noah asked apt-get explicitly to install
ceph-resource-agents, and _that_ has a (correct) dependency on
resource-agents.

resource-agents is available even for 10.04 from the
ubuntu-ha-maintainers PPA for those who need them, btw.

Cheers,
Florian
