Hi,

i added the nginx repo to my source.list deb http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/ubuntu/ trusty nginx deb-src http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/ubuntu/ trusty nginx

After this i did a sudo apt-get update and a sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get install nginx

but i get the following error:

My current nginx version is nginx/1.8.0

How can i solve this problem and update to the latest http2 nginx version?

The issue is with the apt-get clean command being issued after apt-get update and before apt-get install nginx. What is happening is you are updating your package cache then clearing it out again before you install NGINX. This should work below. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y nginx
