Upgrade to 1.18.0 breaks nginx service

[Radoje Albijanic]

This morning my software updater (Ubuntu 18.04) upgraded nginx to 1.18.0. The service is no longer working, and reporting following when trying to start:

nginx: [emerg] dlopen() "/usr/share/nginx/modules/ngx_stream_geoip_module.so" failed (/usr/share/nginx/modules/ngx_stream_geoip_module.so: undefined symbol: ngx_stream_add_variable) in /etc/nginx/modules-enabled/70-mod-stream-geoip.conf:1
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

We need more information.

Are you using the repositories from nginx.org? The PPA that is provided by the ~nginx 'team' here on Launchpad? Or the Ubuntu Repositores' version of NGINX?

`apt-cache version nginx` output can tell us this instantly if you can provide it.

http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/nginx/ubuntu is not a PPA that is maintained by the nginx on Launchpad team, nor the Ubuntu team. You need to email ~ondrej directly for any issues with their PPA and the deb.sury.org PPA/repositories.
