... gitlab-ce is neither a Devuan package nor a Debian package.
I think you should report this at GitLab.com, assuming that's where the
package comes from.
That said, there have been a few reports about upgrading from versions
before 18.8.5 to 18.9.1 stumbling on database migrations.
See
https://forum.gitlab.com/t/problems-upgrading-to-18-9-1/132967.
I ran into this as well myself using GitLab.com's Docker container
image. I was able to revert back to my previous version, 18.8.4,
without issue. I worked around the problem myself before 18.8.5 was
released and did the upgrade from 18.8.4 after that.
Try downgrading to your original version and upgrade to 18.8.5 first
before upgrading to 18.9.1. Make sure that all background migrations on
18.8.5 have finished before upgrading to 18.9.1.
