[DRE-maint] Bug#856432: Can't be reproduced

[Joshua Clayton]

Balalsankar,

Thanks for testing.

my install attempt has been on a long lived VM that was recently upgraded.

postgres 9.1, 9.4 and the respective postgres clients were still installed.

After purging those, and reinstalling postgreSQL 9.6, the reinstall still failed

I removed everything aptitude listed under locally installed or obsolete

...purged everything with gitlab in the name...

apt install gitlab...

Had to remove a /usr/local/bin/rake that was installed somehow I don't recall

uninstall apache, apache passenger, everything apache...

(after uninstalling apache, nginx is pulled in and installed)

... uninstall gitlab and reinstall again.

Remove nginx default site.
 
...and everything is copacetic! Yay!

Wow that was painful, but it would work on a clean install.
Maybe this could be improved, but its working
