How to debug dpkg error code (1) on upgrade of deb package?












2















Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 8.8 (jessie)
Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64
Architecture: x86-64


I have several Debian servers.



Each have included in default repository nginx version 1.6.



After updating from original nginx repository, receive same error on all servers:



Preparing to unpack .../nginx_1.12.0-1~jessie_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking nginx (1.12.0-1~jessie) over (1.6.2-5+deb8u4) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/nginx_1.12.0-1~jessie_amd64.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/etc/default/nginx', which is also in package nginx-common 1.6.2-5+deb8u4
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/nginx_1.12.0-1~jessie_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


I've tried to build deb package from source and still get same error.



I can't find any way to upgrade it without reinstalling the Debian to newer version.



/var/log/dpkg.log:



2017-06-26 19:56:31 startup archives install
2017-06-26 19:56:31 upgrade nginx:all 1.6.2-5+deb8u4 1.12.0-1~jessie

2017-06-26 19:56:32 status installed nginx:all 1.6.2-5+deb8u4


I've tried to fully uninstall / purge the default nginx and install newer but still get error.



The following packages have been kept back:
libpcre3 libpcre3-dev nginx nginx-common nginx-full
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded.

            It's kind of difficult to tell what you tried when purging + reinstalling, but try this:



            sudo dpkg --purge --force-all nginx nginx-common nginx-full
            sudo apt-get install nginx
