Looks like you have a foreign dpkg architecture enabled (i386) on an 
amd64 host.  You may check it with `dpkg --print-foreign-architectures`.

If that's true, you can add arch=amd64 to sources.d/nginx.list options, 
so it will look similar to:

deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg] 
http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu jammy nginx

Have a good one,
