Packages are not installling on ubuntu 12.04

Question

I tried to install imagemagick using following command

sudo apt-get install imagemagick --fix-missing

But while installing I get following error

nginx-full : Depends: nginx-common (= 1.4.7-1+precise0) but 1.6.0-1+precise0 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I tried to remove the nginx using sudo apt-get remove nginx command but getting same error how can I resolve this issue.

Edit By referring this link output ofdpkg -l | grep nginx

iU  nginx                                  1.4.7-1+precise0                                    small, powerful, scalable web/proxy server
ii  nginx-common                           1.6.0-1+precise0                                    small, powerful, scalable web/proxy server - common files
iF  nginx-full                             1.4.7-1+precise0                                    nginx web/proxy server (standard version)

output of dpkg -S $(which nginx)

dpkg-query: error: --search needs at least one file name pattern argument
Use --help for help about querying packages.

Thanks in advance.

Try to install it from this link here. It will ask you to open the software center. If the software center prompt an error write it back please. — OdinRW, Jun 26 '14 at 07:28
Try to completely remove and reinstall nginx-full. Apparently this is a common dependency problem. Then try to install imagemagick. — OdinRW, Jun 26 '14 at 07:32
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get remove nginx* && sudo apt-get install nginx-full — OdinRW, Jun 26 '14 at 07:33
Here is a complete description of the problem but the solution is long. Reinstalling all the packages will do the job. — OdinRW, Jun 26 '14 at 07:35

Run :

sudo dpkg -r nginx-common

If it is successful or not run:

gksudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/status

In the resulting gedit remove the whole section starts with:

Package : nginx-common

then run the installation
