Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gitlab : Depends: ruby-batch-loader (>= 1.4~) but 1.2.2-1 is to be 
installed
          Depends: node-babel7 but it is not going to be installed
          Depends: node-babel-loader (>= 8.0~) but it is not going to 
be installed
          Depends: node-core-js (>= 3.2.1~) but it is not going to be 
installed
          Recommends: certbot but it is not going to be installed
          Recommends: gitaly (>= 13.7~) but it is not going to be 
installed
