You're welcome. :-)

As I commented in #1, the upgrade using podman was working well for me,
but the question is, how long these docker images of old versions will
be available.

When creating an upgrade strategy, you also should take into
consideration, how long this upgrade should work, i.e. whether the
upgrade path should still work in 2027 when 22.04's support will end.

Another problem is that 24.04 is still stuck to rabbitmq 3.12, which is
out of support and does not receive updates anymore, thus could be a
security problem and require an emergency update 3.12 -> 3.13 if a
security problem is found.

Maybe it would be easier and less complex, to first update 24.04  from
rabbitmq 3.12 to 3.13, which seems to be the last 3.x version (they are
beta-testing 4.x), as a reasonable version for 24.04 LTS, and check
whether there's a similar upgrade problem 3.12->3.13, and incorporate
this into your solution.

And, keep in mind, you probably will have similar problems with future
versions. The same problem will probably reoccur.


Maybe, one clean and simple solution could be to decouple rabbitmq-packages 
from Ubuntu releases and simply turn them into snaps with a channel for each 
version, i.e. do no upgrade at all and just replace ubuntu package 3.9 with 
snap channel 3.9 during update to keep things running and benefit from snap's 
revert mechanism in case something doesn't start.
