Hi,

the initial database cluster ("9.6 main") created on the system will
use the default system locale.

This is not a PostgreSQL bug; gitlab needs to error out more
gracefully if it requires an UTF8 database, but the cluster is using a
different encoding.

cloos: Was your system configured with "en_US" when you installed
postgresql? reportbug now reports your locale to be "en_US.UTF-8".

Pirate: I'd suggest documenting this in gitlab's README.Debian. (And
then closing this bug.)
