dpkg error with install-info












0















I have an issue with dpkg and install-info. I cannot add any new packages without encountering a couple errors:



   Setting up install-info (6.5.0.dfsg.1-2) ...
/usr/sbin/update-info-dir: 3: /etc/environment: source: not found
dpkg: error processing package install-info (--configure):
installed install-info package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
install-info
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


Clearly there is an issue with /etc/environment.



I have tried solutions from:





  • Upgrade Problems - Ubuntu Forums

  • Fix half-installed package - Ask Ubuntu

  • How To Solve “sub process usr bin dpkg returned an error code 1″ Error in Ubuntu - It's FOSS


I have also reinstalled and purged/reinstalled install-info. I have checked the paths for /etc/environments and they conform to the first url above.



Any help appreciated & Thanks
John

          After some further digging. The java on this system is messed up after having issues with Ubiquiti's controller after upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04. Removing java references from /etc/environment did the trick.



          What my etc/environment looked like before:



          PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"
          JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle"
          JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle" source /etc/environment


          Fixed Version:



          PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"
