I would like to install Ceph Admin (cephadm) but I am running into all kinds of errors. I thought the errors had to do with python3. "sudo apt-get --purge remove" does not do anything so I tried "sudo apt-get --purge remove" but this stupid error should back up. The following packages have unmet dependencies: shim-signed : Depends: grub-efi-amd64-signed (>= 1.191~) but it is not going to be installed or grub-efi-arm64-signed (>= 1.191~) but it is not installable or base-files (< 12.3) Depends: grub-efi-amd64-signed (>= 1.187.2~) but it is not going to be installed or grub-efi-arm64-signed (>= 1.187.2~) but it is not installable Depends: grub2-common (>= 2.04-1ubuntu24) but it is not going to be installed E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. How can I fix this so I can uninstall python3? ETA: I tried the following commands, same error. sudo apt-get purge grub\* sudo apt-get install grub-efi sudo apt-get autoremove sudo update-grub |

I was just trying commands so see if I could fix it. Clean OS install now, same error. sudo apt remove python3 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: python3-zipp : Depends: python3-more-itertools but it is not going to be installed shim-signed : Depends: grub-efi-amd64-signed (>= 1.191~) but it is not going to be installed or grub-efi-arm64-signed (>= 1.191~) but it is not installable or base-files (< 12.3) Depends: grub-efi-amd64-signed (>= 1.187.2~) but it is not going to be installed or grub-efi-arm64-signed (>= 1.187.2~) but it is not installable Depends: grub2-common (>= 2.04-1ubuntu24) but it is not going to be installed E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

Are you going to run 3 nodes to have your Ceph quorum? If not, stop messing with this please, unless you're trying to add/pad your resume. Edit: Stop trying to remove python3. It's a requirement for CEPH and for certain aspects of the OS. Why are you trying to remove it again after a fresh install? |

I saw the exact apt error from an Infosys hack trying to install the ceph client just before their support contract ran out. I can only assume there is some SEO result pointing folks to outdated steps. |
