Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Actually that file /etc/logrotate.d/nginx does not exist in this folder.

Answer 1

Run the below commands on your terminal,

sudo dpkg -P nginx-common
sudo apt-get install -f

If it's shows any dependency problem when uninstalling the above nginx-common package, then purge nginx-common package along with it's dependencies.

sudo apt-get purge nginx*

Before running the above command, don't forget to check the dependency packages which are going to be purged along with nginx.

sudo apt-get purge -s nginx*
