Public bug reported:
Hi,
in our regular tests one does install a whole bunch of server programs to check
various things like space, ports, ... - In that test I've started to see since
21st December a fail.
When installing in plucky nginx fails to start.
After digging through many red herrings (e.g. the collision with apache
on port 80) I think this still is a real issue, yet I haven't found the
lowest level of root cause.
The following will reproduce the issue:
$ lxc launch ubuntu-daily:p p-metric --ephemeral
$ lxc exec p-metric --env=DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive -- apt-get update -y
$ lxc exec p-metric --env=DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive -- apt-get -y install
postgresql-all mysql-server libvirt-daemon-system containerd runc
nfs-kernel-server samba slapd krb5-kdc sssd haproxy pacemaker memcached chrony
nginx apache2 squid python3-django dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d postfix openvpn
strongswan
The issue we can see in the log then is

06:05:04 dpkg: error processing package nginx (--configure):

So we see the config pre-check failing "/usr/sbin/nginx -t -q -g daemon
on; master_process on" but it isn't telling us how or why.
A simple "install apache2 + nginx" works fine.
I hope I'm rid of many red herrings that tried to lead me the wrong way
and this really is us and will try to simplify the install command to
less programs as it might help to understand why it happens.
