[Bug 653405] Re: rabbitmq-server fails to start if hostname is unresolvable or has changed since first starting

[Oscar E. Ganteaume]

I have Ubuntu 11.10 and have been trying to install rabbitmq 2.7.1
without any luck.  I get the following error message:

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  rabbitmq-server
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Based on previous posts I have attached the erl_crash.dump

The /var/log/rabbitmq/startup_err is empty, but the /var/log/rabbitmq/startup_log contains the following:
Activating RabbitMQ plugins ...
0 plugins activated:

ERROR: epmd error for host "192": badarg (unknown POSIX error)

In case this helps, I am running AMD 64 bit architecture.  I really have
tried different options, but none of them have worked.  Any help will be
greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance
