Hi folks,

Problem on installing nginx

Fail.  But I can't uninstall the package;

E: Command line option --f is not understood
xen11:~# apt-get remove -f nginx

Removing nginx ...


# find / -name nginx
/var/lib/nginx
/var/log/nginx
/etc/init.d/nginx


# ls /var/lib/nginx/
body  fastcgi  proxy

# rm -rf /var/lib/nginx

# ls /var/log/nginx/
access.log            error.log             localhost.access.log

# rm -rf /var/log/nginx
# rm /etc/init.d/nginx


Please advise how to install nginx.  Whether I have to compile the
package from source?  TIA
