Redmine: download

The download/install instructions suggest strongly that using subversion is the best way to upgrade --

svn co https://svn.redmine.org/redmine/branches/4.0-stable redmine-4.0

...and then cd to the redmine-4.0 folder which that creates, and:

svn update

I think this assumes I'm working with an already-configured instance, though, so I should look at the installation guide before trying the svn update.

On further reflection, I realized that I should probably be installing v4.1, in spite of the example:

svn co http://svn.redmine.org/redmine/branches/4.1-stable/ redmine-4.1

That seemed to work too.

Ruby

It looked like the packaged version of Ruby (2.5.1p57 (2018-03-29 revision 63029)) would be ok -- Redmine 4.1 wants Ruby 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, or 2.6 and Rails 5.2 -- so I did that.

Rails

I was never able to find actual instructions for installing Rails (unless you're serving from Windows or Mac for some reason), but a hint somewhere suggested that it could be installed with gem:

root@cloud1:~# gem install rails
Fetching: concurrent-ruby-1.1.5.gem (100%)
Successfully installed concurrent-ruby-1.1.5
Fetching: i18n-1.8.2.gem (100%)

HEADS UP! i18n 1.1 changed fallbacks to exclude default locale.
But that may break your application.

If you are upgrading your Rails application from an older version of Rails:

Please check your Rails app for 'config.i18n.fallbacks = true'.
If you're using I18n (>= 1.1.0) and Rails (< 5.2.2), this should be
'config.i18n.fallbacks = [I18n.default_locale]'.
If not, fallbacks will be broken in your app by I18n 1.1.x.

If you are starting a NEW Rails application, you can ignore this notice.

It took some puzzling to work out that the key part of that message was:

can't find header files for ruby at /usr/lib/ruby/include/ruby.h

...suggesting that the Ruby header files (presumably in the ruby-dev package) need to be installed.

Having installed them, we will try again...

Presumably we just need to install zlib... but searching for "zlib" in apt came up with several packages:

zlib1g	compression library - runtime
zlib1g-dbg	compression library - development
zlib1g-dev	compression library - development
zlibc	An on-fly auto-uncompressing C library
zopfli	zlib (gzip, deflate) compatible compressor

Our first guess was zlib1g, but that was already installed. Searching for the error came up with a post by someone who had solved it with zlib1g-dev, so we tried that next... and it appears to have succeeded:
