rabbitmq-server installation woes on Ubuntu 12.0.4

I downloaded and installed esl-erlang_16.a-rc1~ubuntu~precise_amd64.deb then downloaded rabbitmq-server_3.0.2-1_all.deb and ran:

sudo dpkg -i rabbitmq-server_3.0.2-1_all.deb

It resulted in the following error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
rabbitmq-server : Depends: erlang-nox (>= 1:12.b.3) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Tried to install erlang-nox:

sudo apt-get install erlang-nox

It resulted in the following error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
erlang-nox : Depends: erlang-diameter but it is not going to be installed

From this point on, I tried to (manually) install the dependencies, every effort results in yet another unmet dependency, funny thing is the dependencies start to become cyclical (A needs B, B needs A).

Also tried to add the following

deb http://www.rabbitmq.com/debian/ testing main

to /etc/apt/sources.list

and ran

sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server

same result.

Can anybody please shed some light? Thank you.

When I install the Debian package, I get the same message, but run this afterwards:

sudo apt-get -f install

The -f will automatically try to fix any missing dependencies. You may need to sudo apt-get update first. That could be causing some of your dependency issues.
