Thanks Steve. Very helpful. BTW thank you very much for creating
https://debian-administration.org/ . I found it invaluable back in the
day.

Yes. That is exactly what was happening. I stopped apache2
(/etc/init.d/apache2 stop) and then the configuration process of
nginx-full completed successfully.
A follow up question:
Should I remove apache2 packages completely from the system or is
there a way to install both apache2 and nginx but only start nginx
upon each reboot?
