Description

After upgrading from gitea version 1.6.4 to 1.7.0 (replacing gitea binary with new one) I’m unable to start gitea. The gitea service fails with the following message (service gitea status):

● gitea.service - Gitea (Git with a cup of tea)
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/gitea.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since Fri 2019-05-03 12:27:24 CEST; 1s ago
  Process: 31656 ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/gitea web -c /etc/gitea/app.ini (code=exited, status=2)
 Main PID: 31656 (code=exited, status=2)

If I try to run it directly via gitea web I get the following: Gist

More logs:

I get this error with every version greater than 1.6.4. All permissions were set the same with every version I tried. I haven’t tried building gitea myself since this is something I only want to do if there really is no other way.
