Chris,

Don't use the -f option. Try this

apt-get update
apt-get install apt-show-versions

Chris,

Were you root user while executing the tar command to extract it? If you like, post the log of the session when you create the rootfs here, perhaps I can spot something out of the ordinary.

By the way, for future reference you could also use dpkg to list packages

dpkg -l

But the problem you are seeing is abnormal, I think your rootf is not good to use.

apt-get install -y nginx nginx-extras php-fpm php-cgi

installation is ok

     location /webdav {    
         autoindex on;
         alias /mnt/public/
         auth_basic "Restricted Access";
         auth_basic_user_file /mnt/.htpasswd;    
         client_body_temp_path /tmp/nginx/webdav;       
         dav_methods PUT DELETE MKCOL COPY MOVE;    
         dav_ext_methods PROPFIND OPTIONS;        
         create_full_put_path  on;
         dav_access user:rw group:rw  all:r;        
     }

but nginx fail to start with "dav_ext_methods PROPFIND OPTIONS; "

I can confirm that libnginx-mod-http-dav-ext is installed.

is it bug on debian9?

it was ajenti bug not debian9.
