[DRE-maint] Bug#815798: (no subject)

[Sven Geggus]

Subject: gitlab uninstallabe on plain Debian "stretch"
Package: gitlab
Version: 8.4.3+dfsg-9
Severity: serious

Hi,

trying to install gitlab package on a palin stretch-system where postgis and
nginx have already been installed will currently not work.

In case it is of relevance, the system uses sysv-init.

Here is what I get (irrelevant parts have been skipped).

The "gitlab_production database is not empty" message can not be true.  I
did check it manually and it is empty.

..

gitlab_production database is not empty, skipping gitlab setup
