Issue
I try to install the latest version of nginx (>= 1.9.5) on a fresh amazon linux to make use of http2. I followed the instructions that are described here -> href="http://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html" rel="noreferrer">http://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html
I created a repo file /etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repowith this content:
[nginx]
name=nginx repo
baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/centos/7/$basearch/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
If I run yum update and yum install nginx I get this:
nginx x86_64 1:1.8.1-1.26.amzn1 amzn-main 557 k
It seems that it fetches still from the amzn-main repo. How do I install a newer version of nginx?
-- edit --
I added "priority=10" to the nginx.repo file and now I can install 1.9.15 with yum install nginx with this result:
Loaded plugins: priorities, update-motd, upgrade-helper

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
Solution
If you're using AWS Linux2, you have to install nginx from the AWS "Extras Repository". To see a list of the packages available:
# View list of packages to install
amazon-linux-extras list
You'll see a list similar to:
0 ansible2 disabled [ =2.4.2 ]
1 emacs disabled [ =25.3 ]
2 memcached1.5 disabled [ =1.5.1 ]
3 nginx1.12 disabled [ =1.12.2 ]
4 postgresql9.6 disabled [ =9.6.6 ]
5 python3 disabled [ =3.6.2 ]
6 redis4.0 disabled [ =4.0.5 ]
7 R3.4 disabled [ =3.4.3 ]
8 rust1 disabled [ =1.22.1 ]
9 vim disabled [ =8.0 ]
10 golang1.9 disabled [ =1.9.2 ]
11 ruby2.4 disabled [ =2.4.2 ]
12 nano disabled [ =2.9.1 ]
13 php7.2 disabled [ =7.2.0 ]
14 lamp-mariadb10.2-php7.2 disabled [ =10.2.10_7.2.0 ]
Use the amazon-linux-extras install command to install it, like:
sudo amazon-linux-extras install nginx1.12
