Apache was removed ~26 minutes before installing nginx-full. Then dpkg reports being unable to start nginx during post-install, maybe Apache was still running after the removal? The next day, nginx was able to start without problem.
Skimming dmesg revealed this which may or may not be relevant at all: [ 300.269206] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576513 Title: package nginx-full 1.10.0-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nginx/+bug/1576513/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
