Bug Description

I address this issue with an
    apt-get update
then fixed the broken package.

This issue was probably caused by Launchpad's own rabbitmq dependencies which uses non-standard packages,

Hi Curtis

Is this still a problem? It was a little unclear from the original bug report.

Also

"This issue was probably caused by Launchpad's own rabbitmq dependencies which uses non-standard packages"

Not quite sure what this means - did you have an unofficial rabbitmq package installed before you upgraded?

Sounds like this might have been the issue.

Marking 'Incomplete' and 'Low' for the timing being.

The issue was caused by a missing host name. The install/uninstall script is brittle because when the computer's host name could not be determined, the script died. The issue did not relate to Lp packages, it was caused more by the fact that as a developer, I only had the rabbitmq-server running as needed. When the server was not running, updates could fail, but also when the server was running, shutdown always failed.
