Description

This was on a Ubuntu 16.04 box (running on openvz). Trying to upgrade nginx resulted in a conflict trying to write to /etc/nginx/uwsgi_params

The full error:

Unpacking nginx (1.12.1-1~xenial) over (1.12.0-1+xenial1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/nginx_1.12.1-1~xenial_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/etc/nginx/uwsgi_params', which is also in package nginx-common 1.12.0-1+xenial1
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

Solved by forcing overwrite:

sudo apt -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" upgrade nginx

You are trying upgrading existing nginx package previously installed from Ubuntu repository with Nginx repository. Please refer to http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ and there is no nginx-common on Nginx repository (https://launchpad.net/~nginx/+archive/ubuntu/stable/ they are in Ubuntu PPA repository)

Do not mess with different repositories, try to use one of them to prevent future upgrades.
