Description:

gitlab-shell fails to install on Stretch: while executing the
installer script, it fails to find a file (config.yml.example).
Downloading the file from uptream and manually copying to the right
location does not work either, not sure why, since it is there after
the failed re-attempt. Here's the output from apt-get:

cp: cannot stat '/usr/share/doc/gitlab-shell/config.yml.example': No
such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package gitlab (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
 Errors were encountered while processing:

Steps to reproduce:

apt-get install gitlab gitlab-shell

If any additional information is required to reproduce (e.g. installed
packages), feel free to ask me about this. This bug happened in a
basically fresh install of Stretch.
