Today I’m planning to upgrade the server from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 24.04 (new LTS release).
I already proposed it once after reading: https://ostechnix.com/ubuntu-24-04-1-lts-release-delayed/…
Hopefully I will not hit any of these RabbitMQ bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rabbitmq-server/+bug/2074309
Mastodon poll is a tie: https://mastodon.melroy.org/@melroy/113135476244781426
So, let’s go! What can go wrong??

Ow great… It stopped me.
Unable to upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Currently, you have RabbitMQ server installed, which is not directly upgradable to the newer version. Upgrading may prevent the server from starting due to missing feature flags.

Restoring original system state
Aborting Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree… Done Reading state information… Done === Command terminated with exit status 1 (Sun Sep 15 18:15:15 2024) ===That’s neat. Better a “no upgrade for you” than “no server for you” after upgrade.
Exactly my point… Well it’s more: “Server is fine, except for RabbitMQ service”. Anyway, I think it’s nice to see they try to prevent me upgrading to a breaking system I guess.
Dang
Update: I removed the RabbitMQ server, performed the upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04. And reinstalled RabbitMQ server again. Deleting the queues that are causing issues, restarted RabbitMQ and Mbin. And now everything seems to work just fine, running Ubuntu 24.04!
