Is it possible to disable the nginx self update? My server was offline last night, because the auto update was broken/incomplete/etc.
After the upgrade, the nginx directory contains files like nginx.conf.dpkg-new.
On Debian Squeeze (6.0.5) 64-Bit.

This would depend on what OS/Package Management you are using, and how you handle updates for your OS. Can you be more specific? – Drew Khoury Apr 07 '13 at 08:22

Ideally you want to be running your updates in a development environment before running them on production.
Also, compiling your own software will give you greater control over which versions are installed, and when.
Finally, if you like, you can prevent certain packages from being upgraded.
http://www.debianadmin.com/how-to-prevent-a-package-from-being-updated-in-debian.html
echo "package hold" | dpkg --set-selections
or
aptitude hold package_name
depending on which package manager you're using.
