Issue
Need some help in how to install nginx in Ubuntu 18.04 i386.
I have this old server that is running ubuntu server since version 10... Last night decided to update from 16.04 to 18.04. Almost everything worked fine, with the exception of Nginx... After some research I saw that the bionic version doesn't support i386 platform...
So I'm kind of stuck.
I tried to force the installation of the xenial version, but without success.
What I already tried, first the normal approach:
apt install nginx
Depends: nginx-extras (>= 1:1.17.3-8.6.0.4~xenial1)
apt install nginx-extras
Depends: perlapi-5.22.1 (bionic doesn't exist, replaced by perl-base 5.26.1-26??)
Depends: libperl5.22 (>= 5.22.1) (bionic has the 5.26 version)
After this I tried to force to manual install packages, by downloading deb package for the nginx-extras and to install with dpkg, failed because some missing dependices related to lua, so just did the same for that dependecies, deb files, dpkg to install, and finally installed the nginx-extras. Installed with success, but in the end, it didn't run, on nginx start it tries to load a perl so file:
"error while loading shared libraries: libperl.so.5.22: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
That was exepcted, because the version that I have in the system it's 5.26 and not the 5.22...
So what can i do to solve my problem?
Thanks
Solution
Looking at Package: nginx and following nginx-full or nginx-light shows, that architecture i386 is still supported in Bionic.
So your problem must be something else.
From your comment, it looks like you have http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ added as a repository in either /etc/apt/sources.list or some file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/. From http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/dists/bionic/Release, it seems that i386 indeed is not supported
Architectures: amd64 arm64
Looking for an entry
grep nginx.org /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
should reveal, which is the relevant file. Comment the appropriate line (prefix with a #) or remove it, then do an
apt-get update
and reinstall the package directly from the Ubuntu repository.
