This bug is being handled with the SRU for 20.2.1:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ceph/+bug/2151199
[ Impact ]
* cephadm fails to run due to missing dependencies. In particular, the Ceph
Python ceph-common package is missing.
* The new packages will solve this by adding the necessary dependencies.
[ Test Plan ]
* In order to test this, the functional tests for Canonical's Ceph containers
repository will be run (https://github.com/canonical/ceph-containers).
* These tests involve using the cephadm tool for cluster deployment using
Canonical's custom Ceph images.
* If the new packages fix this issue, the tests will run to completion.
[ Where problems could occur ]
* cephadm is used as a simple tool to deploy Ceph clusters. Notably, neither
the Ceph charms nor Microceph make use of it, but users of Ubuntu can make
use of it independently.
* Any problems with cephadm will thus prevent users from deploying their own
Ceph clusters with the exceptions noted above.

Title:
cephadm: missing Depends on python3-ceph-common
Status in ceph package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The cephadm binary package in resolute (20.2.0-0ubuntu2) imports
ceph.cephadm.images at startup but does not declare a Depends on
python3-ceph-common which provides that module. Running
`cephadm bootstrap` (or any cephadm subcommand) on a fresh install
fails immediately with:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/cephadm", line 141, in <module>
from cephadmlib import runscripts
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cephadmlib/runscripts.py", line 10, in <module>
...
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cephadmlib/container_types.py", line 12, in <module>
from ceph.cephadm.images import DefaultImages
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ceph'
Currently declared Depends are only `lvm2 | python3` per
https://packages.ubuntu.com/resolute/cephadm.
Reproducer (LXD VM):
$ lxc launch --vm ubuntu:26.04 c1
$ lxc shell c1 -- apt-get update
$ lxc shell c1 -- apt-get install -y cephadm
$ lxc shell c1 -- cephadm version
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ceph'
Workaround:
apt-get install -y cephadm python3-ceph-common
Expected fix: add `python3-ceph-common (>= ${binary:Version})` to
cephadm's Depends in debian/control. The squid (19.x) cephadm in noble
shipped as a single-file script with no Python imports beyond the
stdlib, so this regression is specific to the Tentacle refactor that
moved logic into cephadmlib/ and ceph/cephadm/.
