in file: /var/lib/dpkg/info/ceph.prerm

no service called ceph:

                invoke-rc.d ceph stop || {
                        RESULT=$?
                        if [ $RESULT != 100 ]; then
                                exit $RESULT
                        fi
                }

This bug was fixed in the package ceph - 9.2.0-0ubuntu6

---------------
ceph (9.2.0-0ubuntu6) xenial; urgency=medium

  * d/ceph-mds.dirs: Actually create /var/lib/ceph/mds prior to changing
    permissions (LP: #1544647).
  * d/ceph.init: Restore link to init-ceph, resolving un-install failures
    due to missing init script (LP: #1546112).
