I'm quite new to Raspberry Pi and Linux/Debian, so please bear with me. I have been trying for hours now to install rabbitMQ on my Raspberry Pi 3, to no avail. I followed the steps, but in the end I just get this whenever I try to write sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server :

After seeing this, I realize that my Erlang wasn't the correct version, and needs to be 1:21.3, instead of 1:21.2, so I went to go and update it, but it then says:
pi#raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get install erlang
Reading package lists... Done

erlang is already the newest version (1:21.2.6+dfsg-1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
I looked on the Erlang web site and it just says write apt-get install erlang to make it work, but for some reason it just wants to stay at version 1:21.2.6, instead of the 22.2 that seems to be a latest version. Does anyone have any advice?
After Franva's comment, I have improved my answer.
Go to the page: https://www.rabbitmq.com/install-debian.html#manual-installation
Search for "Manual Installation with Dpkg" in the page and you will find the download link.
At the moment (4th June 2020) the file is "rabbitmq-server_3.8.4-1_all.deb"
Download that file and move it into the raspberry pi.
Go to the page: https://www.erlang-solutions.com/resources/download.html
and download the latest version for raspbian buster.
Then in Raspbian type
sudo apt-get remove erlang*
Then install the erlang package you have downloaded from the erlang website using
sudo dpkg -i name_of_the_erlang_package.deb
Install the RabbitMQ package you have downloaded from the RabbitMQ website using
sudo dpkg -i rabbitmq-server_3.8.4-1_all.deb
When the installation is over type the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable rabbitmq-server
sudo systemctl start rabbitmq-server
sudo rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
Since the default user (guest) accesses to the web management console only from localhost, you can either log in from your raspberry and from chromium type
http://localhost:15672
and login with
user: guest
pass: guest
You can then create your own user and log in with it remotely
OR create your own user with the following commands
sudo rabbitmqctl add_user your_username your_password
sudo rabbitmqctl set_user_tags your_username administrator
sudo rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p / your_username ".*" ".*" ".*"
and connect to the management console from your browser using
http://ip_of_the_raspberry:15672
I have erlang 21.3 installed:
$ erl -eval 'erlang:display(erlang:system_info(otp_release)), halt().' -noshell
"21"
But the rabbitmq installer does not think so:
sudo apt-get install -y rabbitmq-server

Note: the following question is similar - but for RedHat and the yum install instructions are not directly applicable for apt-get Installing RabbitMQ on Red Hat - wrong Erlang version
What needs to be done to fix this installation process? I am on ubuntu 18.0.4.
The following sequence of commands will install Erlang and RabbitMQ on Ubuntu 18, as documented here:
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
apt-get update -y
apt-get install curl gnupg -y
curl -fsSL https://github.com/rabbitmq/signing-keys/releases/download/2.0/rabbitmq-release-signing-key.asc | apt-key add -
apt-get install apt-transport-https
tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bintray.rabbitmq.list <<EOF
deb https://dl.bintray.com/rabbitmq-erlang/debian bionic erlang
deb https://dl.bintray.com/rabbitmq/debian bionic main
EOF
apt-get update -y
apt-get install rabbitmq-server -y --fix-missing
until lsof -i:5672; do echo "Waiting for RabbitMQ to start..."; sleep 1; done
rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
If you choose to install Erlang from source you're on your own and I suggest using the generic-unix RabbitMQ package.
NOTE: the RabbitMQ team monitors the rabbitmq-users mailing list and only sometimes answers questions on StackOverflow.
Encountered similar scenario recently while installing rabbitmq. Installing erlang using PPA
wget https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang-solutions_1.0_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i erlang-solutions_1.0_all.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install erlang
sudo apt-get install esl-erlang
as described here worked for me
I experienced similar issue while installing elixir. I believe the reason is an existing installation of erlang is blocking the installation of required versions of erlang offered by two different packages.
For me, installing esl-erlang along with elixir solved the issue, e.g., sudo apt-get install elixir esl-erlang. So, you might want to explicitly install the required version of erlang-base or esl-erlang.
While installing RabbitMq 3.11.7 / Erlang OTP 25 / Ubuntu 20.04 received this set of errors
The following packages have unmet dependencies: rabbitmq-server : Depends: erlang-base (>= 1:25.0) but 1:22.2.7+dfsg-1 is to be installed..
Resolved by following Cloudsmith Quick Start Script at
https://www.rabbitmq.com/install-debian.html
This means installing both Erlang and RabbitMq Repositories.
The error was resolved after these steps were put in sequence.

make sure that the repo sources are up to date
sudo apt-get update
and then
sudo apt-get install npm
if you still have dependency problems then
sudo apt-get install -f
this will only install the missing dependency

Anyone know if what I am trying to do is supported? Any hints or workarounds?
Note: I specifically want to try version 3.0.6. I was able to install the stable version but there is a bug that is blocking me and I am hoping it's fixed in 3.0.6.
Apparently at the moment Mono is not really supported on armhf and this is what the regular Raspbian "wheezy" distro is. I tried Soft-float Debian “wheezy” and the original issue I had was gone even on 2.10.8. When I tried upgrading to a newer version apt-get just said "mono-complete is already the newest version". Here is the long version of the story.
It seems armhf is now supported in mono:

AFAIK mono 3.0.6 was just included in debian/experimental, so I guess you're not using this version.
