[DRE-maint] Bug#916306: gitlab: Error during gitlab installation

[Pranith Kumar]

OK, made some more progress after removing the local bundler. Now I am
getting the following error:

Setting up gitlab (11.5.4+dfsg-1) ...

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.



Your user account isn't allowed to install to the system RubyGems.
  You can cancel this installation and run:

      bundle install --path vendor/bundle

  to install the gems into ./vendor/bundle/, or you can enter your password
  and install the bundled gems to RubyGems using sudo.

  Password:


However, no matter what password I enter (tried both su and sudo
password), I am not able to proceed.

Thanks,
