Package: gitlab
Version: 8.13.3+dfsg1-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

this issue happens on a vanilla installation of gitlab on a Debian
Stretch system. Since the problem occurs without any custom
configuration from my side, I deemed this issue to happen for all users
of the gitlab package and thus the severity.

Essentially, the dropdown menus stopped working. This includes:

 - the user menu dropdown on the upper-right
 - the project settings dropdown on the right below
 - the repository clone method dropdown
 - the repository dropdown on the upper-left
 - the download option dropdown
 - the notification dropdown

I judge these elements being dysfunctional to render the package
unusable.

To allow you to investigate the problem, I packed up the rootfs of the
machine I installed this onto. This rootfs is freshly generated and will
not be used in production, so there are no secrets in it.

The only gitlab user is root with the password 12345678.

You can also convince yourself of the problem by looking at this system
running live. For this, just enter the following into your /etc/hosts:

62.75.219.30 gitlab.mister-muffin.de

And then browse to https://gitlab.mister-muffin.de

You can log into the gitlab web interface with the credentials given
above.

For log and configuration files, list of installed packages etc, please
consult the tarball of the whole system here:

https://mister-muffin.de/gitlab_vanilla.tar.xz

To create this setup, I ran in a fresh chroot:

apt-get install --no-install-recommends gitlab msmtp-mta

No further configuration was carried out from my side. I used msmtp-mta
to prevent the bloat of postfix as a provider of mail-transport-agent. I
expect this choice to have no influence on the problem at hand.

I suspected that there might be a problem because I installed with
--no-install-recommends but running the following resulted in the same
behaviour:

apt-get install --install-recommends gitlab msmtp-mta certbot-

Thanks!

cheers, josch
