I mentioned this to wgrant last week - the actual problem is that our 
rabbitmq-management plugin needs an older version of rabbitmq-server which is 
not in the archive for precise any more.

 rabbitmq-management : Depends: rabbitmq-server (< 2.6.2) but 2.7.1-0ubuntu1 
is to be installed

Since wgrant made the plugin in the first place I was kinda hoping he'd do 
another ;)
