I have 3 nodes all same hardware and specs. I was able to install ceph on 2 of my nodes successfully but it only fails on third one and I can't figure why. Any pointers please ?

Hi,

can you please post the output of tail -n+0 /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
On a hunch I'd say you have misconfigured package lists.

Also, please post the output of pveversion -v, that's always good to have.
 
Ok So here is what happened, I wanted to install ceph octopus on all 3 nodes. This node accidentally got quincy setup started and I could not revert it back. So I went with quincy on all 3 nodes and it worked out.

There should be a way to revert if you accidentally start wrong ceph version installation.
