We are working on Ubuntu 14.04, with Gitlab 9.3.7, which works great. We are trying to update the latest Gitlab v9.3.8 security patch, but it gives us this error:

I tried adding ruby-dev and ruby2.3-dev since we are using Ruby 2.3. No change to update. Since this is a fairly recent patch, Gitlab has no additional information on its website, and the installation instructions for re2 did not help.
