I had a usable glusterFS install, and then upgraded and no longer had a usable glusterFS install. I don't know what to call that other than "broken." The CLI is required - without it one cannot setup, change, or monitor the daemon. Would it make sense to package systemD without /usr/bin/systemctl? Upstream ships the CLI with the server (combined package). The PPA ships the CLI with the server (combined package). Fedora ships the CLI with the server (Install-Requires) Arch ships the CLI with the server (combined package). CentOS ships the CLI with the server. (Install-Requires) Gentoo ships the CLI with the server (combined) As far as I can tell only Debian ships a split package without Requiring the CLI. MfG, Alex Ruddick

In default setups recommends are installed like dependencies (I also deactivate this always). This means that the server package is basically broken (in a patch release, no less!) since the 'gluster' binary is critical to actually setting up or running a server. Refer to e.g. the upstream Quick Start Guide which references 'gluster' left and right. https://docs.gluster.org/en/main/Quick-Start-Guide/Quickstart/ So why is it broken?

Refer to e.g. the upstream Quick Start Guide which references 'gluster' left and right. https://docs.gluster.org/en/main/Quick-Start-Guide/Quickstart/ Note: I had installed from the 9 PPA (https://launchpad.net/~gluster/+archive/ubuntu/glusterfs-9), which did not modify the package as debian did. So I didn't notice the breakage until 10.x was released, triggering the upgrade. -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers jammy-updates APT policy: (500, 'jammy-updates'), (500, 'jammy-security'), (500, 'jammy'), (100, 'jammy-backports') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.15.0-52-generic (SMP w/8 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages glusterfs-server depends on: ii glusterfs-client 10.1-1 ii glusterfs-common 10.1-1 ii lsb-base 11.1.0ubuntu4 Versions of packages glusterfs-server recommends: ii glusterfs-cli 10.1-1 ii nfs-common 1:2.6.1-1ubuntu1 glusterfs-server suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
