I try to install rabbitmq-server on ubuntu-server 12.04 but failed.

Then I add the apt source list following the guide in http://www.rabbitmq.com/install-debian.html

But reinstall still have the same error as following:

$ sudo aptitude install rabbitmq-server
...

   ...fail!

A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:

And error log seems show nothing useful neither:

# startup_err shows this
Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump

# startup_log shows this

I have googled for some time but got nothing useful.

One solution on the internet is to make sure hostname pingable, but my /etc/hosts already have this line on top:

127.0.0.1    localhost    myserver

Any suggestion on how to get up rabbitmq-server?
