Versions of the package are as follows

erlang   1:16.b.3-dfsg-1ubuntu2.1

When i debugged, I came to know that epmd deamon is not running.  So i
have started the epmd daemon manually.  The rabbitmq came into running
state.

Rabbitmq should start the epmd daemon by itself, but here it is unable
to start it.
