I am not really sure which file the ceph-deploy is complaining about: Its certainly not the ~/.cephdeploy.conf or ceph.conf. I am also able use debugger as running under debugger looses info about the config file location.

The deployment tool ceph-deploy has been deprecated in favor if cephadm a couple of releases ago. Although this doesn't really answer your question it's gonna be difficult to keep ceph-deploy functional with newer releases. I recommend to switch to cephadm.

I see. That explains why I was having such difficult time with ceph-deploy. Thanks for pointing out.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
