[pve-devel] [PATCH/RFC manager] pveceph: also install nvme-cli

[Fabian Ebner <f.ebner@proxmox.com>]

The nvme-cli package is recommended by (our) Ceph packages, but here
--no-install-recommends is used to avoid pulling in too much.

The issue with not installing nvme-cli is that a "security
information" mail notification is triggered by sudo each time Ceph
tries to get the device health metrics. While there is a sudoers
rule for /usr/sbin/nvme, Ceph uses 'sudo nvme ...', so it does not
apply when the package is not installed.

This didn't seem to happen with sudo in buster.

It's about 1 MiB of additional packages (nvme-cli + uuid-runtime).

An alternative would be to patch Ceph to use the full /usr/sbin/nvme
for its call (not tested).
