Hi all,
I have a self hosted GitLab (ver 13.9.3-ee) and I have to upgrade to the latest version.
So I do → 13.12.9 → 14.0.7 → 14.1.2 and then install the latest version (Upgrading GitLab | GitLab)
When i do sudo apt install gitlab-ee=13.12.9-ee.0
i get the following error:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be upgraded:
gitlab-ee

After this operation, 42.8 MB of additional disk space will be used.

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)`
As you can see I have a problem with dpkg in the last lines.
What can I do to resolve this?
Thanks in advance
