Problem scenario
You want to remove Nginx from an Ubuntu server. You run this: sudo apt-get remove nginx
But you receive this error:
"
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
nginx-dbg : Depends: nginx (= 1.12.1-1~xenial)
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
"
What do you do to remove Nginx?
Solution
Remove nginx-dbg first. Run this command: sudo apt-get remove nginx-dbg
Then remove nginx with a command like this: sudo apt-get remove nginx
