Hello,<br><br>This is not an nginx problem, this is a debian problem. You should report this problem on the Debian Bug Tracker using the program `reportbug`. Go here for more information: <a href="http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting">http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting</a> . <br>
<br>To remove the package, you might try using dpkg directly like so:<br> `dpkg -P nginx` or maybe `dpkg -r nginx`<br><br>I believe the etch package is nginx-0.5.x, so you will likely be better off building a more current version from scratch.<br>
<br>For what it's worth, the package in Lenny has been updated to 0.6.32 and installs and removes perfectly fine.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Merlin<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 11:09 PM, Stephen Liu <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:satimis@yahoo.com">satimis@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
