重装nginx报错 已安装 nginx-full 软件包 post-installation 脚本 子进程返回错误状态 1

起因
之前在网上看文章提到说，通过apt-get的方式安装nginx，可能安装不是最新版本的情况，考虑到在Ubuntu下第一次安装nginx，以后肯定会有卸载重新安装新版本的需求，刚好刚开始学习nginx，索性练习下卸载重装的过程。

安装
使用Ubuntu下的包管理工具apt来安装nginx

$ sudo apt-get install nginx

卸载
同样使用apt来卸载nginx

$ sudo apt-get remove nginx

sudo apt-get autoremove命令帮我们卸载不再需要的依赖包
在这里我们卸载nginx相关的依赖包

$ sudo apt-get autoremove

删除nginx配置文件夹

$ sudo rm -rf /etc/nginx

重新安装nginx

更新源

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt-get install nginx

然而控制台报错：

Job for nginx.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status nginx.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript nginx, action "start" failed.

查看nginx.service状态

$ systemctl status nginx.service

仔细看报错信息，获取到两个信息点：

Package nginx-core is not configured yet.
Package nginx-full/nginx-light/nginx-extras is not installed.

于是上网搜，网上找说可能是apache占用了80端口导致报错

查看端口占用情况

$ sudo netstat -nlp

发现80端口没被占用，而且systemctl status nginx.service的提示信息也没提及80端口被占用，如果提示信息中说80端口被占用，可以执行以下两步试试：

终止apache运行

$ sudo service apache2 stop

重新安装nginx

$ sudo apt-get install nginx

了解详细信息请看askubuntu上的提问
上述情况与我的并不相符，于是换个思路，报错信息中提及nginx的配置文件不存在，思考为什么卸载重装nginx，却没有生成配置文件？
和第一次安装的时候不一样，然后百度上搜nginx卸载重装后配置文件没有重新生成，找到了类似的问题，给出了如下的操纵步骤：

卸载nginx不保留配置文件

$ sudo apt-get --purge remove nginx

重新安装nginx

$ sudo apt-get install nginx

…
查看版本号，执行nginx配置文件语法检测

$ nginx -v
nginx version: nginx/1.10.3 (Ubuntu)

$ sudo nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

虽然nginx已经重装好了，但是一路下来还有几个困惑：
apt-get autoremove到底是按什么规则卸载软件？
为什么nginx-common没有在一开始的时候卸载？

1. apt-get autoremove到底是按什么规则卸载软件？
   apt-get autoremove：删除，自动安装的，且不再需要的
   （不被其他软件当作依赖的）软件包

举个栗子: 通过apt-get方式安装nginx时，会通过引导自动安装所需的依赖包（nginx-core），而当我们卸载nginx后，
那些自动安装的依赖包就成为不再需要的软件包（nginx-core），通过apt-get autoremove会自动清理它们
既然会自动删除不再需要的软件包，那么为什么nginx-common没被删除？

2. 为什么nginx-common没有在apt-get autoremove的时候卸载？
   不知道细心的童鞋发现没，我们在卸载nginx的时候，
   手动删除了nginx的配置文件夹（sudo rm -rf /etc/nginx）。
   那这些配置文件夹和nginx-common软件包有什么关系呢？

通过查找ubuntu packages，找到了Ubuntu16.0.4下nginx-common软件包的文件清单。

按照清单上的目录手动排查，发现本机上除了手动删除的/etc/nginx目录不存在，文件清单内的其他文件都没有被删除，
猜测可能是nginx-common软件包完整性被破坏，导致autoremove的时候没有被删除，当然这只我的猜测。

问题回答后续补充:
整理完全卸载nginx命令时，发现执行如下命令，ngnix的配置文件并没有被删除

$ sudo apt-get remove --purge nginx
查阅ubuntu packages发现，nginx依赖nginx-core，nginx-core依赖nginx-common，且其中nginx的配置文件属于nginx-common软件包配置文件的一部分。

执行如下命令进一步验证

卸载nginx-common ，nginx配置文件不会被删除

$ sudo apt-get remove nginx-common

…

卸载nginx-common，nginx配置文件已经被删除（包括但不限于）

$ sudo apt-get remove --purge nginx-common
$ find /etc/nginx/

find: ‘/etc/nginx/’: No such file or directory
推翻之前的猜测：
apt-get autoremove执行时，nginx-common软件包已经被选择用于卸载( deinstall )，但是实际还没有卸载。

$ dpkg --get-selections| grep nginx

nginx-common deinstall
