Public bug reported:
The bug is actually located in erlang itself. epmd fails to bind to any
IPv4 address if instructed to do so
[Impact]
Users of RabbitMQ in IPv4 environments are unable to start rabbitmq unless the
environment variable ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS is unset. In case of disabled IPv6
support there is no valid setting for ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS as
* IPv4 addresses will be rejected as syntacitcally invalid
* IPv6 addresses will fail to bind
[Test Case]
service rabbitmq-server stop && killall epmd
ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS="127.0.0.1" epmd
epmd: Thu Sep 25 21:00:16 2014: cannot parse IP address "127.0.0.1"
same could be acieved with the epmd's -address option
In case IPv6 support is disabled:
ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS="::1" epmd
epmd: Thu Sep 25 21:01:40 2014: failed to bind socket: Cannot assign requested
address
-- rabbitmq case:
cat rabbitmq-env.conf
export RABBITMQ_NODENAME=rabbit@localhost
export RABBITMQ_NODE_IP_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1
export ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1
service rabbitmq-server start
* Starting message broker rabbitmq-server
* FAILED - check /var/log/rabbitmq/startup_\{log, _err\}
[fail]
Commenting/removing the "export ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1" line
resolves the issue

The issue was fixed using -DEPMD6" in CPPFLAGS
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rabbitmq-
server/+bug/1312507/comments/5) which perhaps (I speculate only)
activates some of the erlang's IPV6_V6ONLY definitions.
