Man do I ever hate the way we use global variables. That's at the root of why this is biting us so much. :(

I'll try to take a look as soon as I'm able but don't be afraid to ping me on this one.

I think this is a duplicate of https://issues.mediagoblin.org/ticket/5385. The root of the problem is that installation instructions are incomplete. It was fixed for Debian GNU/Linux jessie but the same kind of test / patch should be done for all distributions.

I don't think this is a duplicate of #5385, but it is a duplicate of #5349. I don't think this is a dependency issue... it's an sqlalchemy session issue.
