    Edit /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb (or appropriate path) Edit the grafana[enable] value to be false. On my config this was on line 1689, but I recommend you search for the string grafana to find it.

    grafana['enable'] = false

    Reconfigure GitLab by running gitlab-ctl reconfigure. Let this run and it should end with gitlab Reconfigured!

    You can now resume the apt update that failed due to having Grafana enabled.

    Please go through with error i.e.

    "gitlab preinstall: It is required to upgrade to the latest 16.3.x version first before proceeding"

    First update gitlab-ce 16.3.x

    sudo apt update

    sudo apt install gitlab=16.3.0

    Once done now you can update to 16.4.x

    sudo apt install gitlab
