14.04 - Can't update nginx because of debconf - Ask Ubuntu


i'm on 14.04.5 lts. error when running normal apt-get upgrade:

setting nginx-common (1.10.1-3+trusty1) ... dpkg: error processing package nginx-common (--configure):    subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 

i've omitted subsequent errors caused this, "package nginx-common not configured yet.", etc.

i followed process in this answer debug .postinst , never gets beyond 3rd line: . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule – that's what's returning 1.

i've tried this solution didn't help, debconf accessible. , these ones (the error persists). have no ipv6 listen directives in included conf files far can tell.

i have no clue how i'd debug debconf see why it's failing. know should try next?


edit: new updates, install error @ end:

setting nginx-full (1.10.1-3+trusty2) ... initctl: invalid command: upgrade try `initctl --help' more information. invoke-rc.d: initscript nginx, action "upgrade" failed. 

not sure if should mark resolved.

this specific issue fixed, please update packages!
