I submitted a bug and pull request to fix this upstream, but the fixes need to be applied to the RedHat/Fedora spec files as well... there's actually two bugs that break upgrades of cephadm, here are the pull requests for both:

# only remove cephadm user on uninstall:
https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/46272

# (not mine, but needed) correctly mark ~cephadm/.ssh/authorized_keys as config(noreplace):
https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/45347

There both 1 line fixes, but note that rpm upgrade runs the %postun script from the previous version, so the cephadm user will still be removed the first time the package is upgraded with the fix...

Comment 5 Scott Shambarger 2022-06-01 23:06:54 UTC

Both of the above PRs have been merged... might be useful to apply them to the RH/Fedora spec too.
