This may still be failing. First attempt to upgrade to 2.8.3 on Debian 
fails if the server is stopped:

# dpkg --install rabbitmq-server_2.8.3-1_all.deb
(Reading database ... 19204 files and directories currently installed.)

Second attempt will success as install script just started the server:

# dpkg --install rabbitmq-server_2.8.3-1_all.deb
