Thanks for confirming that. Maybe there was a bad package push to the repo and you got unlucky during that window when you installed it, or something else happened in your environment.

Yeah, I'm not opposed to the idea of being more resilient on the nova side but it seems highly unlikely that anyone is running python-rbd 10.0.1 or older with Rocky (unicode handling was added in version 10.0.2). As seen in the gate, even older Ceph Hammer works fine with python-rbd/python-rados 10.2.9. But these days many are running Luminous. And we don't want to carry workarounds for very old ceph bindings forever.
