Dear OQ-developers,

I started to install openquake in a new computer. However, at the end of installation I encountered the following error:

Setting up python-oq-engine (1.0.0-1) ...
start-stop-daemon: user 'rabbitmq' not found

Errors were encountered while processing:
 python-oq-engine
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Could you please help me to solve the problem?

Dear OQ user,

your error it's very unusual. Probably there's a race condition during the installation between OpenQuake and RabbitMQ.

Can you try with:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall python-oq-engine 

?

Thanks for your feedback

Daniele
