Sorry but until the packages in the Debian repositories are all fixed
and updated for compatibility among software versions, there is no way
to mix the packages only available from Debian's repositories via
pinning so that it will work (at least that I've tried).

You can avoid ppa.mmogp.com and any other private repository by building
the official upstream sources from scratch. They are mostly available on
Github.com/clusterlabs/

Documentation:

You can follow the clusterlabs.org documentation (clusters from scratch,
just choose the correct one for your system/versions).

PCS/PCSD is one of the more popular CLI's these days - aside from crmsh,
which is also available on ppa.mmogp.com (you'll want to install that
and then uninstall pcs,though you don't _need_ either.)

I haven't updated the packages on ppa.mmogp.com since I last worked on
the packages. I've been waiting for review and updates from team members
for some time.

However, I will be updating the packages on ppa.mmogp.com - and keeping
it maintained a bit more regularly from here on out.  Do keep an eye out
for updates from Debian-HA, as eventually I imagine the team will be
working towards an official 'Debian' solution.

Until then, if you'll give me a little bit to go ahead and package the
latest updates from clusterlabs and the team - ppa.mmogp.com will be
up-to-date and ready to rock for you.  I'll make another ping once I've
accomplished as much.


Best regards,
