Installing gitlab on sid

[Lucio Crusca]

I'm trying to install gitlab from sid, but it requires ruby-sidekiq>=7~,
which is not available in sid (there's only 6.5.12 available).

Am I doing anything wrong or should I file a bug report?

maybe you can use rbenv to install the required ruby toolkit?

I'm afraid that's not the point. I assume that

# apt-get install gitlab

should just work out of the box, or there is a problem, either on my
part, or in the gitlab package itself.

As of now, that command outputs instead:


Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gitlab : Depends: ruby-sidekiq (>= 7~) but 6.5.12+dfsg-1 is to be
installed
Depends: ruby-ruby-magic (>= 0.6~)
Depends: ruby-gitlab-labkit (>= 0.35~) but it is not going
to be installed
Recommends: certbot but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: gitaly (>= 16.8~) but it is not going to be
installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


I'd like to understand what the problem is and find the correct solution
to that problem.

You're running sid; being broken is expected. Talk to the maintainer.

You are using unstable!

The error message is very transparent about this: "...if you are using the
unstable ..."

Well maybe you just have to wait until the package might be available. But
you never know. It might take a while...

You are absolutely right. But I never stopped by to read that message
and it's the first time in years of sid (mixed with testing and stable)
that this thing bites me... I've always skipped the bla bla bla and
headed to the informations below, in order to manually solve
dependencies (impossible in this case).

My fault. Sorry.
