Jun 19 03:08:56 plucky-test systemd[1]: Started nginx.service - A high performance web server and a reverse proxy server.

The package in -proposed fixes the issue, happy to mark verified for plucky. ** Tags removed: verification-needed-plucky ** Tags added: verification-done-plucky -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2081308 Title: Resolve circular dependency loop between nginx and nginx-common To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nginx/+bug/2081308/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
