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

[Christian Ehrhardt ]

@Dan - while bryce is working on this it isn't fixed in Focal yet.
Therefore the SRU is still blocked IMHO.

** Changed in: rabbitmq-server (Ubuntu Focal)
       Status: Fix Released => In Progress

Bug description:
  [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 (but I will not patch Eoan,
  see other info below).

  [other info]

  Unfortunately, rabbitmq-server in Eoan was carried over from Disco,
  but one of its build dependencies, elixir, was upgraded in Eoan.  The
  version of rabbitmq-server in Disco and Eoan internally sets a elixir
  upper version limit of 1.8.0, while it is version 1.9.1 in Eoan.  So,
  rabbitmq-server is no longer (and never has been) buildable in Eoan.
  Since this is a minor issue and Eoan is EOL in several months, I think
  it is safer to skip this fix for Eoan and leave rabbitmq-server there
  untouched.

  [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:

  [Discussion]

  [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
