** Description changed:
[ Impact ]
When installing rabbitmq-server after another package that uses port
5672, such as garagemq, the installation will fail with:
Job for rabbitmq-server.service failed because the control process exited
with error code.
See "systemctl status rabbitmq-server.service" and "journalctl -xeu
rabbitmq-server.service" for details.
This is due to a combination of the systemd service failing to start
when it tries to take the port, and the use of dh_installinit instead of
dh_systemd_start, which provides a code block that exits with an error
on service failure.
This bug is fixed by swapping to dh_systemd_start, which allows the
install to continue on service failure, and by notifying the user that
the service will fail by checking to see if the port is taken by another
package.
[ Test Plan ]
To test, install garagemq followed by rabbitmq-server. Before this fix,
this would cause the rabbitmq-server to fail. After, the install should
instead display the following message and succeed:
WARNING: port 5672 is already in use by another application.
RabbitMQ server will not be started automatically.
Also, installing rabbitmq-server first should also be tested to show
that the above message does not show up. Same with a rabbitmq-server
upgrade.
[ Where problems could occur ]
Problems would most likely occur here due to differences in behavior
- between systemd's dh processes vs dh_installinit's.
+ between dh_systemd_start vs dh_installinit.

[ Other Info ]
The reason dh_installinit fails is due to its generated start code
being:
invoke-rc.d rabbitmq-server $_dh_action || exit 1
while dh_systemd_start's start code is
deb-systemd-invoke $_dh_action 'rabbitmq-server.service' >/dev/null ||
true
