Hello, I encountered an issue while installing Nginx. Here are the steps I followed:

`bash
sudo apt-get install nginx
sudo apt-get install libnginx-mod-http-fancyindex
sudo systemctl start nginx
`

However, the process ends with an error message: “error while loading shared libraries: libz-ng.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.”

I checked the status with sudo dpkg --verify libz-ng2, and it indicates a missing file:

`
missing /usr/lib/libz-ng.so.2.1.4
`

The file libz-ng.so.2.1.4 is not present in /usr/lib/. Reinstalling the libz-ng2 package using sudo apt-get --reinstall install libz-ng2 did not yield any results. In the package archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libz-ng2_2.1.4-3myguard3~jammy_amd64.deb, the file libz-ng.so.2.1.4 has a size of 0.

I would appreciate any guidance on resolving this issue.

Environment on which I run: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS jammy

Hi, thanks for your report, seems some symlinks are gone wrong.
Can you do sudo apt update && sudo apt-get –reinstall install libz-ng2?

Thanks, after the update everything works fine.
