The suggestion is that the /etc/environment file is broken in some way. This is mine - in what way is this broken?
user@hostname:/etc$ cat environment PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/Adobe/Reader8/bin:/opt/Adobe/Reader8/Reader/intellinux/bin" LANG="en_GB.UTF-8" LANGUAGE="en_GB:en" LC_ALL ="en_GB.UTF-8" I have also checked the permissions: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 205 2010-10-05 18:25 environment I added to the path statement some months ago and this did not appear to cause any problems at the time. Am I missing something here, or is it the case that the installer attempted to access the file in a non-legal manner? (Curiously, when I attempted to attach the environment file, Launchpad complained "Cannot upload empty file" - although it is not empty and is listable [see above] is this significant?) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/607967 Title: MASTER: install-info breaks when /etc/environment is broken. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
