I currently have Debian bullseye distribution installed (Pi 4 device, Raspberry Pi OS bullseye, arm64).

This device is part of an office server environment for which there is an nginx web server instance running.

The latest version of nginx available for bullseye is 1.18, and now I want to upgrade it.

I followed the official procedure detailed here (I chose the mainline packages option): https://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html#Debian

I did add the package pinning file as indicated:

$ more /etc/apt/preferences.d/99nginx
Package: *
Pin: origin nginx.org
Pin: release o=nginx
Pin-Priority: 900

When I issue

sudo apt update
apt-cache policy nginx nginx-common nginx-extras

it shows the following:

nginx:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1.29.3-1~bullseye
  Version table:
     1.29.3-1~bullseye 900
        900 http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/debian bullseye/nginx arm64 Packages
     ...
nginx-common:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1.18.0-6.1+deb11u5
  Version table:
     1.18.0-6.1+deb11u5 500
        500 http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security/main arm64 Packages
     1.18.0-6.1+deb11u3 500
        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye/main arm64 Packages
nginx-extras:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1.18.0-6.1+deb11u5
  Version table:
     1.18.0-6.1+deb11u5 500
        500 http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security/main arm64 Packages
     1.18.0-6.1+deb11u3 500
        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye/main arm64 Packages

It seems that while the nginx package is indeed "wired" to the new repository, the other two packages aren't.

How can I fix that? I tried many (many) things, to no avail.

I can't install nginx because of this error:

$ sudo apt --fix-broken install
$ sudo apt install nginx nginx-common nginx-extras

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 nginx : Conflicts: nginx-common but 1.18.0-6.1+deb11u5 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

EDIT: I can successfully install nginx, but not nginx-extras, which is unfortunate as I need some nginx-extras functionality (like more_clear_headers).

    Upgrade from oldoldstable, and uninstall all nginx packages from Debian repositories. You should probably aim for Trixie now. Oh, and this question is off topic here. Commented 2 days ago

    @MartinFrank I would suggest not running oldoldstable as well, and ask why newer versions of software is not working. If you run oldoldstable, it's because you don't want new versions of software. Commented yesterday
