方法一：

# Run these commands as your normal login (e.g. "michael")
# Remove any existing versions of nginx
sudo apt-get remove '^nginx.*$'

# Setup a sources.list.d file for the nginx repository
cat << 'EOF' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx.list
deb http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ precise nginx
deb-src http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ precise nginx
EOF

# Add nginx key
curl http://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key | sudo apt-key add -

# install nginx
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install nginx

方法二：

rm -rf /etc/nginx

rm -rf /usr/sbin/nginx

rm /usr/share/man/man1/nginx.1.gz

apt-get remove nginx* (apt-get remove --purge nginx)

sudo apt-get remove nginx #Removes all but config files.

sudo apt-get purge nginx #Removes everything.

重新安装：

To recreate it, first uninstall using purge to remove even configuration files and records:

apt-get purge nginx nginx-common nginx-full

then reinstall:

apt-get install nginx

if above doesn't work for you

You can also try using --force-confmiss option of dpkg.

sudo dpkg --force-confmiss -i /var/cache/apt/archives/nginx-common_*.deb
