It looks like that PPA has had some problems for the last 12 days.

On 8/12/2010 it built a package successfully but did not include those
two temp paths.
Build log:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/53535379/buildlog_ubuntu-lucid-i386.nginx_0.8.49-1ppa1_FULLYBUILT.txt.gz

But then again on 8/12/2010 it tried to rebuild with the needed
options:
	    --http-scgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/scgi \
	    --http-uwsgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/uwsgi \
but failed to build.
Build log:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/53565334/buildlog_ubuntu-lucid-i386.nginx_0.8.49%2Btime~lucid1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

Looks like a naming problem.  Package name changed and it applied that
to the source path and then it couldn't find the upstream-fair module
and died.

Please contact the maintainer of the PPA.
