[rabbitmq-discuss] Why is it so difficult to setup clustering ?

Definitley not the case here (have checked my bash history, and have also just gone in and deleted the config file from sources.list.d/ ).

That is a very odd looking error. The rabbit_control module was renamed 
to rabbit_control_main in 3.0.0, the same release in which cluster was 
changed to join_cluster.

So that looks like somehow you have a modern rabbitmqctl mixed in with 
an old (2.x) RabbitMQ server.

That's also consistent with U12 running an old rabbit.

So I don't know how your installation on U12 has progressed but it has 
definitely become mixed up somehow. That should be impossible if just 
using .debs, so have you installed via some other mechanism as well?
