Comment 17 for bug 2074309

Hadmut, thanks again for bringing this to our attention.

With 24.04.1 coming out soon we may expect more upgrades from Jammy -> Noble. Therefore I am looking to block the upgrade (22.04 -> 24.04) if rabbitmq-server is installed.

This is unfortunate, but I think is a fair to not make rabbitmq-server unusable for users after upgrade. This will also give us time to evaluate a proper upgrade path that can be relied upon, and allow users to backup data before attempting anything.

Likely it will be a manual process of upgrading interim releases (rabbitmq-server 3.9.X -> 3.10.X -> 3.11.X), or accepting that you will need to recreate your server's database, but that's something I will be working on.
