Package: glusterfs-server
Version: 10.1-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: a.rudd...@numat-tech.com

See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=991383
In 9.3.2 the 'gluster' binary was moved out to a new 'gluster-cli' package.
Part of the rationale given was to match Fedora.
https://fedora.pkgs.org/37/fedora-updates-testing-aarch64/glusterfs-server-10.3-1.fc37.aarch64.rpm.html
However, the new package is only Recommended in Debian/Ubuntu, but Required in 
Fedora.

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/

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.
