Checksum mismatch in .gitlab_kas_secret post-install & gitlab-ctl reconfigure

Summary

I'm running debsums -c daily, hoping to catch file corruption and/or other abnormalities early. (The Debian package even provides a pre-made cronjob for this task.)

debsums -c gitlab-ce reports .gitlab_kas_secret as deviating from the provided md5sum.

Steps to reproduce

  1. apt install gitlab-ce
  2. vi /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb # set external URL
  3. gitlab-ctl reconfigure
  4. debsums -c gitlab-ce

What is the current bug behavior?

# debsums -c gitlab-ce
/opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/.gitlab_kas_secret

What is the expected correct behavior?

# debsums -c gitlab-ce
#
