This package / The package <xyz> is part of the universe section of the Ubuntu archive. Universe packages are maintained by the community, and the maintainers do not necessarily work for Canonical, therefore these packages are not always supported directly by Canonical.
The existing process to update packages in the Universe archive with patches, is as follows:
1. Upstream: Upstream your fix to the appropriate upstream project.
2. Debian: once your patch is ack’ed and accepted upstream, you need to request a merge of this patch to the package in Debian stable. https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting use this link to report your issue and submit a fix.
3. Ubuntu: Once it is merged into Debian stable, request a merge of this package with Ubuntu. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debian/Bugs will provide you an overview on how to handle bugs that are reported to Debian and subsequently to Ubuntu.
- The merge request lands by default in Ubuntu's current development release (today ‘Artful’).
- If required an SRU may follow to get the changes into already released Ubuntu versions (like ‘Xenial’ or ‘Zesty’).
Work with the respective upstream maintainers (Debian and Ubuntu) is required during this process. For critical issues we can advise you as you go through this process and help push the patches through by chasing the appropriate project contributors.
[To find out if a package is a universe package use: apt policy <package-name>.]

You need to ask Canonical about this issue having been fixed since this bug is already mirrored to Canonical.

And is there any outlook from them with respect to having fixed this issue.

Closing this bug since its not a directly supported package by Canonical.

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

The reason for the failure seems to be:

Jun 30 03:38:03 zz376p1 ldirectord[5896]: Config file ldirectord.cf not found
Jun 30 03:38:03 zz376p1 systemd[1]: ldirectord.service: Control process exited, code=exited status=1

And you can follow a small howto at:

https://wiki.clusterlabs.org/wiki/Using_ldirectord

Since it seems likely to me that this is a local configuration problem,
rather than a bug in Ubuntu, I am marking this bug as 'Won't fix'.

However, if you believe that this is really a bug in Ubuntu, then we would
be grateful if you would provide a more complete description of the problem
with steps to reproduce, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu
rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug
status back to "New".
