Lets redefine "fresh" here. A "fresh" installation is an installation in which none of the other components exists on the system (or you purged them).

------

Here's an excerpt from the History Log for dpkg, and why this is *not* a fresh installation:

Start-Date: 2015-04-22 00:22:48
Commandline: apt-get install nginx
Install: nginx-core:amd64 (1.6.2-5ubuntu3, automatic), nginx-common:amd64 (1.6.2-5ubuntu3, automatic), nginx:amd64 (1.6.2-5ubuntu3)
Error: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
End-Date: 2015-04-22 00:22:59

Start-Date: 2015-04-22 00:23:30
Commandline: apt-get install nginx-full
Install: nginx-full:amd64 (1.6.2-5ubuntu3)
Remove: nginx-core:amd64 (1.6.2-5ubuntu3)

Therefore, this is not a 'fresh' install, you're removing one flavor and installing another.

------

Now to the actual issue. Can you try doing `sudo apt-get install -f` to try and complete the process all over again with configuring packages, or manually force reconfiguration of nginx-full with `sudo dpkg-reconfigure nginx-full` and then do `sudo apt-get install -f` if there's no errors, and see if that fixes it? (It's ambiguous what the actual error is in reconfiguration :/)

[Thomas Ward (teward)]

Using the steps you've done on a ***fully updated Ubuntu 15.04 system*** in a Virtual Environment, I am unable to reproduce this problem. After digging into the command line options via the history provided, I'm posting the notes I made, in three steps. It'll be the attached output (in English) of the commands, as seen in the command line. It's likely you have something else broken as a result of something else. Did you have any other versions of NGINX installed previously that could be causing conflicts?

[Thomas Ward (teward)]

There is a potential workaround for this issue. Try the following steps:

sudo apt-get remove nginx
sudo apt-get install nginx-common nginx-full

If it still fails attach the terminal and command output to the bug.
