I'd like to upgrade my nginx from version 1.16 to 1.18.

Belows were previous situation about nginx.

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep nginx
nginx-mod-mail-1.16.1-1.el7.x86_64
nginx-1.16.1-1.el7.x86_64
nginx-filesystem-1.16.1-1.el7.noarch
nginx-mod-http-image-filter-1.16.1-1.el7.x86_64
nginx-mod-http-xslt-filter-1.16.1-1.el7.x86_64
nginx-mod-http-perl-1.16.1-1.el7.x86_64
nginx-mod-stream-1.16.1-1.el7.x86_64
nginx-all-modules-1.16.1-1.el7.noarch

Then I removed nginx version 1.16, and tried to install version 1.18 after registering nginx yum repository. And I found out that there are no dependent rpms needed for nginx 1.18

Is this ok [y/d/N]:

Is there no need to install below rpms for nginx 1.18? If so, are there any other additional rpms needed for nginx 1.18?

When switching from EPEL-packaged builds of NGINX to nginx.org (or getpagespeed.com) builds, after installing newer NGINX, you need to run:

yum remove $(yum list installed | grep 'nginx.*@epel' | awk '{ print $1 }')

This will remove any extraneous packages like nginx-mod-stream. They are not needed because their files and features are already included to the main package nginx.
