Ceph-Libs Package Can Be Removed?

I'm wondering if the aur/ceph-libs can be removed as it looks like it's not required by anyone :

pacman -Qi ceph-libs

Any clue ?

Only you can know if you need it. You could remove it and install it again if you do need it.

If you ran into the 30 hour build issue on the AUR package, here is some more info:
