[Bug 1439661] Re: package nginx-core 1.4.6-1ubuntu3.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[neptuneray]

Thomas,

I found the problem to be an incompatibility between the latest version
of nginx and the add-on firewall, naxsi. (within nginx-core). It has
nothing to do with Ubuntu.

I removed naxsi, and now nginx runs fine, and my system reboots without
the error.

Thanks for investigating this.

Ray
