On a different, also current system, I was able to install without problems if I used dbconfig. It did not ask me this time about what instances I wanted to configure. I was able to uninstall without trouble.
If I don't use dbconfig, now I get this error: root@markvm-walnut:~# apt-get install redmine redmine-sqlite Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...
