### Summary
When you run apt-get update / upgrade on a production system today, you get into this problem
### Steps to reproduce
I am not sure I can reproduce this bug without installing a new version.
### What is the current *bug* behavior?
apt-get update && apt upgrade && gitlab-reconfigure pushed out this output:
```
