Problem on installing ngnix

[Merlin]

Hello,

This is not an nginx problem, this is a debian problem.  You should report
this problem on the Debian Bug Tracker using the program `reportbug`.  Go
here for more information: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting .

To remove the package, you might try using dpkg directly like so:
  `dpkg -P nginx` or maybe `dpkg -r nginx`

I believe the etch package is nginx-0.5.x, so you will likely be better off
building a more current version from scratch.

For what it's worth, the package in Lenny has been updated to 0.6.32 and
installs and removes perfectly fine.

Thanks,
Merlin
