Package: gitlab
Version: 8.4.3+dfsg-1
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss
Hi,
I previously encountered bug #812841, so I left gitlab as unconfigured
by apt/dpkg and started it manually using `systemctl start gitlab.target`
This seems to have worked well and gitlab was able to make use of the
existing database table from my old manual installation of version
7.8.4.
Then later I wanted to install an unrelated package, so apt/dpkg were
running the gitlab postinst again. As part of the postinst, the database
seems to be completely overwritten with new content. All my existing
content would've been lost if I hadn't made a backup beforehand.
That I now have an empty gitlab instance can be seen from the following
output:
gitlab@22gitlab:~$ rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

Try fixing it:
Make sure GitLab is running;
Check the gitlab-shell configuration file:
sudo -u gitlab -H editor /usr/share/gitlab-shell/config.yml
Please fix the error above and rerun the checks.

This should not happen!
Thanks!
