Would like to add a link to the bug I filed recently [1]. As I note
there, this is what I get:

"Error in PREIN scriptlet in rpm package rabbitmq-server-2.6.1-2.fc17.noarch
error: %pre(rabbitmq-server-2.6.1-2.fc17.noarch) scriptlet failed,
exit status 6"

And also that "Group added using: #groupadd -r rabbitmq and yum
install succeeds."

Cheers,
