[DRE-maint] Bug#988108: gitlab: Repeated issues resolving dependencies on upgrade

[Maximilian Stein]

Hi,

> You should be installing gitlab 13.11.2. You need to add contrib section to people.debian.org/~praveen/gitaly. This is mentioned in https://wiki.debian.org/gitlab/#New_changes
>
> All dependencies are compatible with this version.

Thanks for the hint, I hadn't gotton this.

However, this actually doesn't not fully solves the basic problem: 
Basically, I am forced to always update to the newest gitlab version as 
fast as possible or otherwise risking that updates of a dependency 
package breaks my installation. So, actually, the problems boils down 
to: The Gitlab dependencies are tighter in the Gemfile than in the 
package. That's why dependency packages are upgraded although they break 
another package which is not upgraded.


What about generating the required dependencies from the Gemfile? 
Basically that is what I am doing manually: The ruby package "example" 
is found in the Debian package "ruby-example" and then I only need to 
get the version right.

Best,
Maximilian
