[Bug 1447294] Re: package nginx-full 1.6.2-5ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Thomas Ward]

I've been able to run the install command from the DpkgHistoryLog
(specifically for nginx) without any incident.  It installs from the
repositories correctly and operates as expected.

So, this will need a little more information.  Since dpkg's logs don't
actually give any information or insight into why the executable failed
to load, lets do some digging.

Run this command: `systemctl status nginx.service` and likely this
command: `journalctl -xe`  and provide the output.  My guess is that
something broke during its startup (something else bound to port 80 or
such), but because of the way the init scripts have been changed over
time and the systemd issue of it failing to report those errors, we'll
need to do some investigation to try and find *why* it's breaking.

Also, try `sudo nginx` and then see what errors, if any, are produced.
