Can't uninstall or disable nginx
Title says all, apparently I removed nginx but it keep starting at boot, I'm using lighttpd but nginx starts first causing lighttpd to fail to start, so at every boot I have to stop nginx and start lighttpd manually.
Things that I have done: ( command: output )
apt-get remove nginx: Package 'nginx' is not installed, so not removed
service nginx status: [...] Active: active (running) [...]update-rc.d nginx remove
chkconfig nginx: (nginx off)mv /etc/init.d/nginx /tmp/
sysv-rc-conf: (It is disabled at every runlevel)rcconf: (nginx is not listed)... and many
reboot
System: RPi 3B running Raspbian 8 (Jessie)
EDIT:
dpkg -l | awk ' { print $2 } ' | grep ^nginx output:
nginx-common
nginx-full
debian systemd nginx

Raspbian uses systemd to manage services by default, not SysV. Hence sysv-rc-conf and chkconfig having an inconsistent behaviour.
To disable nginx upon boot do:
sudo systemctl disable nginx.service
As for having nginx files hanging around after a successful purge, something must have gone terribly wrong, or there are still packages lying around. The latter is bound to be the case, as nowadays nginx is not a single package anymore, and you need to remove several packages:
$apt-cache search nginx | grep ^nginx | awk ' { print $1 } '
nginx-common
nginx-doc
nginx-extras
nginx-extras-dbg
nginx-full
nginx-full-dbg
nginx-light
nginx-light-dbg
What happened is that nginx went from having a single package to multiple ones. You may list the nginx packages you have still installed:
dpkg -l | awk ' { print $2 } ' | grep ^nginx
As you updated the post with the nginx packages that you still have, I do recommend doing:
dpkg --purge nginx-common nginx-full
For a future reference, you can check the available packages at:
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/nginx
