Public bug reported:
The first installation of the nginx-common on a system without nginx
installed works fine, but attempting to reinstall it (or upgrade from a
previous version of nginx-common) results in the post-install script
exiting with status 1. I attempted to debug this issue myself, but
rapidly became lost in a maze of scripts calling each other.
Luckily, the issue is easy to reproduce. From a system without nginx
installed:
michael@mamarley-desktop:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i
nginx-common_1.10.1-0ubuntu3_all.deb
