Hello.

Can you check in /var/crash/ to see if there is an entry for nginx-core or similar, and run apport-bug on that crash file please, so that debug information is attached to this bug?

[Manoj Iyer (manjo)]

Thomas,

Appreciate your quick response. I have added the logs I found under /var/* related to nginx. I think the error is because nginx-core is not built for ARM64 ? or there is a package dependency issue ?

[Thomas Ward (teward)]

This isn't a bug, nor a problem with the package.

Something else is listening on port 80, and therefore you can't start nginx. (It by default binds to port 80).

Whatever the other process is (possibly Apache), you should shut it off, run the installation (or apt-get install -f), and then mess with configuration files so things aren't all trying to listen on port 80 at once.
