I don’t understand where to go now, as I’m not a system expert neither… Should I log in as the “git” user to perform the installation?
There’s a(n unlikely) possibility that this was a transient error, and trying again won’t harm so do that.
In the likely event it fails again, it seems like something has tried to modify /etc/group on your system and died in the attempt leaving a lockfile in place (the unlikely possibility was that it was something actually running at that particular moment that was modifying /etc/group). That needs to be investigated.
The error message says with an invalid PID '15878, is that ' just the result of a bad copy-paste on your part or does the file actually contain that? (I don’t recall even having received that error, so I don’t know if it quotes the PID it reads)
If the file contains a what looks like a PID, find out if any process with that PID is running, if not you can probably just delete the file and try installing GitLab again. If a process with that PID is running you need to find out what that is doing and why it has locked /etc/group.
Actually, the whole error log says
root@ns3126688:~# sudo apt-get install gitlab-ce=11.11.3-ce.0

The missing ’ was a copy/paste error… I’ll try to identify if any process with PID 15878 still exists and kill the lock file if not.
Got way further when running the installer for the second time! I’ve temporarily renamed the group.lock file, received some system errors and finally ran the installer as expected. Just made a mistake with https configuration but it’s now ok!
Should I log in as the “git” user to perform the installation?
