package rabbitmq-server 2.3.1-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Thanks for reporting this bug.

Out of interest, what service was running on port 61613?

Thanks.

Developer note:
The logic for starting the service probably needs to handle a failed start better, and not block package configure.
