Potentially worse than all of those, it might install just fine, but actually install a newer version of nginx than the one that you tested locally or on your test environments.

This is one of the things that Docker solves, as you are able to test and deploy using exact filesystem snapshots.

But you can install specific versions:

apt-get install nginx=x.x.x

I'm not aware of a case where that would install anything but what you ask for.

Which works great until you want to run two dependent services, one that requires no greater than v1.5 and the other which requires no less than v3.0.
