[Bug 1952592] [NEW] package rabbitmq-server (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: installed rabbitmq-server package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

[Michael Barclay]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 20.04 after a normal power down and up rabbitmq-server failed to start, re-install of rabbitmq failed to solve the problem but a purge and re-install solves the issue. Could be a problem with Erlang?
Also possible is a permissions issue - I had been moving some shared libraries into a docker build and changed some permissions temporarily - I may have mis-stepped.
