Omnibus package upgrade to 8.0 fails

How to Use GitLab
1

Currently I run GitLab 7 which runs perfect, but of course I would like to run the latest GitLab version. Earlier I download the VirtualMachine file and from that i updated to each new version.

Today I wanted to upgrade to 8.0 but I get the following errors:

The command I ran was:

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

Is this a common problem? How to solve this? I had GitLab CI installed earlier.

OK solved it. I commented all the ci settings and reconfigured GitLab
