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.


I don't quite know how I did this but I installed Debian Unstable in Virtualbox and I tried to install gitlab from contrib repo (unstable) and got the same results as you. Then I tried to install the broken dependency from the experimental repo. Then I copied all the broken dependencies to a text file, told apt to install all the packages in that file from unstable repo and it installed Gitlab.. I can confirm that it is installed... it if works is another story and I'm trying to figure out how exactly I did it. Will get back with more.
