[ClusterLabs] Upgrade corosync problem

Sorry after the command:

corosync-quorumtool -ps

the error in log are still visible. Looking at the source code it seems problem is at this line:
https://github.com/corosync/corosync/blob/master/tools/corosync-quorumtool.c <https://github.com/corosync/corosync/blob/master/tools/corosync-quorumtool.c>

    if (quorum_initialize(&q_handle, &q_callbacks, &q_type) != CS_OK) {
		fprintf(stderr, "Cannot initialize QUORUM service\n");
		q_handle = 0;
		goto out;
	}

	if (corosync_cfg_initialize(&c_handle, &c_callbacks) != CS_OK) {
		fprintf(stderr, "Cannot initialise CFG service\n");
		c_handle = 0;
		goto out;
	}

The quorum_initialize function is defined here:
https://github.com/corosync/corosync/blob/master/lib/quorum.c <https://github.com/corosync/corosync/blob/master/lib/quorum.c>

It seems interacts with libqb to allocate space on /dev/shm but something fails. I tried to update the libqb with apt-get install but no success.

The same for second function:
https://github.com/corosync/corosync/blob/master/lib/cfg.c <https://github.com/corosync/corosync/blob/master/lib/cfg.c>

Now I am not an expert of libqb. I have the version 0.16.0.real-1ubuntu5.

The folder /dev/shm has 777 permission like other nodes with older corosync and pacemaker that work fine. The only difference is that I only see files created by root, no one created by hacluster like other two nodes (probably because pacemaker didn’t start correctly).

This is the analysis I have done so far.
Any suggestion?
