Package: gitlab
Version: 8.4.3+dfsg-9
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

I just tried to upgrade my gitlab installation from 8.4.3+dfsg-8 to
8.4.3+dfsg-9 and this happened:


        Your bundle is complete!
        Use `bundle show [gemname]` to see where a bundled gem is installed.
        Running final rake tasks...
        Initializing database...
        gitlab_production database is not empty, skipping gitlab setup
        Precompiling assets...
        rake aborted!
        LoadError: cannot load such file -- /usr/share/gitlab/config/application
        /usr/share/gitlab/Rakefile:5:in `require'
        /usr/share/gitlab/Rakefile:5:in `<top (required)>'
        (See full trace by running task with --trace)
        dpkg: error processing package gitlab (--configure):
         subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit 
status 1
        Errors were encountered while processing:
         gitlab
        E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


Thus, the package is uninstallable.

Thanks!

cheers, josch

Sorry, I missed this comment in #814714.

Rahul was able to reproduce it and we confirmed these steps.

home directory of gitlab user is now changed from /usr/share/gitlab to
/var/lib/gitlab, so /usr/share/gitlab/.ssh/authorized_keys is now
/var/lib/gitlab/.ssh/authorized_keys

Take a backup of /usr/share/gitlab to be sure.

Well, official support for updates are provided only for stable to next
stable. It will not be viable to support updates between unstable versions.

I don't think this should block gitlab migration to testing. If someone
is choosing to install a package from unstable, they know what level of
support to expect.

I'm closing this bug now.
