severity 779825 normal
thanks

The initial report here was about Nginx failing to install. We've now
determined this is because the user disabled IPv6 support on their
system. This isn't simply a non-standard case, it's a nonsensical one.
Accommodating this use case would cause headaches for pretty much
every single other person that uses Nginx.

For those reasons, we won't be making any changes to accommodate this
particular situation.

It's worth noting that the decision to disable IPv6 support broke
multiple other packages as well. This has nothing to do with Nginx.


Additionally, there was mention of not failing an install/upgrade when
the init script fails. I've looked into this and feel that would be a
poor choice. I have managed to discover multiple cases where this can
wreak havoc on large deployments. Failing an install or upgrade if the
init script fails is the best option.


Is there any reason to keep this open?
