Comment 36 for bug 1740892

Big thanks to Robie Basak for providing some feedback and discussion on IRC and in the MP.

We came up with the following, which I'm currently testing, to try and resolve this issue:

In addition to all the changes currently in the MP(s), modify:

corosync to Breaks: on older pacemaker versions than the one we are going to provide in this update
pacemaker's preinst to mark via a file in /run if pacemaker is running, if upgrading from an older version of pacemaker
corosync's postinst to check the file in /run and start pacemaker, if upgrading from an older version of corosync

The effect of these changes together is to force corosync to upgrade pacemaker (via the Breaks) and for pacemaker to indicate to corosync whether it should start pacemaker in the maintainer scripts.

The currently building versions for Trusty in my PPA (corosync = 2.3.3-1ubuntu4.1~ppa4 and pacemaker=1.1.10+git20130802-1ubuntu2.5~ppa1) are meant to contain these additional changes and upgrade together. I will test them once they are built.
