[Bug 1773324] Re: [SRU] rabbitmqadmin shows %%VSN%% as version

Fri Apr 3 12:26:57 UTC 2020

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  Version information is displayed by rabbitmq-server, preventing configuration management tools from deploying and maintaining the services properly.

  [Test Case]
  $ rabbitmqadmin --version
  rabbitmqadmin %%VSN%%

  [Regression Potential]
  Very low.  The patch simply adds a step to the makefile.  Things to look for would be build-time related problems; none are expected.
+ 
+ [scope]
+ 
+ This is fixed in Debian by commit:
+ https://salsa.debian.org/openstack-team/third-party/rabbitmq-server/commit/9d13c83ecab526e46d01e4250d157f2085fa43b6
+ 
+ That is included in Debian starting in version 3.7.18-1, which is in
+ Ubuntu starting in Focal.  The version in Xenial does not include
+ 'rabbitmqadmin' so this problem does not exist there.
+ 
+ This is needed only for Eoan and Bionic.

  [Fix]
  Upstream's release scripts substitute in the version string, but that logic isn't triggered during the regular debian package build.  It's straightforward to fix by inserting an equivalent sed command to the makefile during our build.

  This issue affects rabbitmq-server from Bionic forward, and will need
  carried in our own packaging.  The fix may be worth forwarding to debian
  as well, once it's confirmed their package is affected as well.

  For testing, a PPA with packages containing the fix is available at:

  [Original Report]
  When running 'rabbitmqadmin --version' it shows %%VSN%% as the version information on Ubuntu 18.04 and not the correct rabbitmq version. We are using puppet to install and configure rabbitmq server and the puppet-rabbitmq modules [1] are using the version information from that command internally. Currently they are failing in Ubuntu 18.04.

  Used versions:

  Distributor ID: Ubuntu
  Description:    Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
  Release:        18.04
  Codename:       bionic
  rabbitmq-server: 3.6.10-1
