[Koha] Background job / Staging MARC import stuck at 0%

Michael,

Did you ever have any luck resolving this?

I'm having a similar issue in which my imports get stuck at 0% on the
staging step. I, too, seem to have a functioning RabbitMQ, and none of the
suggestions I saw in this thread seemed to make a difference.

I'm now on v22.11.06-3, and updating hasn't seemed to make any difference,
either.
