Hi Hadmut,
Launchpad shouldn't have expired this bug, since you answered my
question. I've re-opened the bug report, however I'm not sure this is
going to be actionable for us, which I'll explain but first let me try
to answer your question:
> So the central problem is that it is not obvious how things are
supposed to be used and to work. Just having a umask different from 022
seems to break everything. Under what uid is rabbitmq-plugins supposed
to be used?
Referring to comment #5, it appears stock Ubuntu's rabbitmq-server is
expecting it to be under UID 111:
Adding system user `rabbitmq' (UID 111) ...
Unfortunately, even the stock rabbitmq-server has been proving to be a
bit... finicky... to support. For example, it's dependency requirements
are a bit stricter than we've been able to meet in past Ubuntu releases,
making it difficult even just to build the package on bionic and eoan -
which makes it unusually challenging to backport fixes.
But it sounds like you've gotten a bit far from a stock rabbitmq-server
config, involving Puppet and a plugin with some non-Debian assumptions
about the system. In doing so, I think you've found a legitimate flaw
in the service behavior, so I think we do need to keep this bug report
open. But, we have more fundamental issues that will need tackled
first, so let me set expectations we may not get to this problem for a
while.
I hope since your last comment you've sorted out a solution for
yourself. If not, I might suggest inquiring with Puppet, especially if
you have a support contract with them. If you're able to resolve the
issue let us know how you did, and maybe we can work out a way to ensure
that solution is reflected in the packaging for the future.
