Public bug reported:
Noticed multiple installation errors during upgrade from 24.04 to 26.04.
The fundamental problem was:
/usr/sbin/update-info-dir: 27: export: export __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK: bad variable
name
This because /etc/environment has the line:
export __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0
and /usr/sbin/update-info-dir tries to actually export all pertinent line from
/etc/environment which results in the bash command:
export export __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0
which throws the message reported above.
Removing "export" from the line in /etc/environment fixes the problem
(for me)
bash:~$ install-info --version
install-info (GNU texinfo) 7.2
bash:~$ apt-cache policy install-info
