Omnibus upgrade fails to connect to Postgres

Created by: shampine

Using version 8.0.1 and running the Omnibus upgrade to either 8.0.5 or 8.1 both fail stating postgres cannot connect.

Specs: Ubuntu 14.04, only application on the server is Gitlab

Steps:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Error:

PG::Error: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
        Is the server running locally and accepting
        connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

After the error is returned it leaves Gitlab in a broken non-working state, running reconfigure or any other tools just spike the gitlab process to 100% cpu. Currently stuck on version 8.0.1.

Going to spin up a new VPS right now with an image and dump the entire error log out for the issue.
