nginx dependency problem trying to upgrade
Solution 1
The problem is that nginx-full
depends on nginx-common
, this means that you can't install the package nginx-full
without have a specific version of nginx-common
.
Here is an question dedicated to this problem, but the resolution is very extensive, reaching to, not only one, but different cases. So I will show you a short but effective method.
Actually, I don't know how to install that version of nginx-common
, but I know that you will solve your problem by reinstalling all the package. To do that you must enter the following command in a terminal.
sudo apt-get remove nginx* && sudo apt-get install nginx-full
Solution 2
I had the same problem. I DO NOT have Apache, and nothing else was blocking my port 80. I could NOT install nginx with
sudo apt-get install nginx
nor with
sudo apt-get install nginx-common nginx-full
After one week I stumbled over this little blog: https://etc.banana.fish/?p=75
In this blog, the solution is:
- Install nginx-common:
sudo apt-get install nginx-common
- Remove
listen [::]:80 default_server;
from /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default (I made this using the root-user) - Just to be sure, I did reboot my server.
- Just to be sure twice, I did
sudo apt-get update
and thensudo apt-get upgrade
. - Now I finally called
sudo apt-get install nginx-full
and it worked!
Afterwords I could see the Titlescreen of nginx, when I typed in the IP of my remote server!

Trying to upgrade my Ubuntu 12.04 vps I get the following error:
henrik@neung:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade [sudo] password for henrik: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies: nginx-full : Depends: nginx-common (= 1.2.4-1ubuntu0ppa2~precise) but 1.2.4-2ubuntu0ppa1~precise is installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
So I try to run this:

Lucio over 11 yearsTake your time looking this general purpose question. If you have no luck with that, try reinstalling the
nginx
package:sudo apt-get remove nginx* && sudo apt-get install nginx-full

hstr over 11 yearsI went through the whole thing, but no luck. So I tried removing and installing, and after a reboot everything worked ok. Could you post this as an answer so I can accept it as the right solution.

Ahmed Fasih almost 9 yearsI needed to stop Apache (also serving on port 80) before this worked.
