Description:

Name : samba
Version : 4.16.2-1
Description : SMB Fileserver and AD Domain server

Depends On : db>=4.7 popt libcups libcap>=2.16 gnutls>=2.4.1 talloc ldb libbsd python iniparser tdb libaio perl-parse-yapp smbclient>=4.16.2 gpgme ceph-libs libldb.so=2-64 libtdb.so=1-64
libtevent.so=0-64 liburing libunwind

ceph-libs is a huge 60MiB package that is related to a ceph monstrosity. Can't imagine it is actually required for samba operation. Maybe it should be optional? Or removed altogether?
This task depends upon

Understood.
Please, consider ubuntu's solution:
libcephfs2 is not a requirement but a recommendation of a "samba-vfs-modules" package.
https://packages.debian.org/en/sid/samba-vfs-modules

Also, I guess it's a feature request now.

@Boris-Barboris if you apply the attached patch and rebuild the package samba can you then use samba without ceph-libs installed?

@loqs Yes, everything works as expected with ceph-libs removed.
