[OhGojira]

Hello, and thanks in advance.
Whenever I try to download and install something from
Ubuntu software center, i can't...
It does download it, but can install it
i always get this:



installArchives() failed: Setting up install-info (4.13a.dfsg.1-10ubuntu2) ...
/etc/environment: line 1: acquire::http::proxyfalse: command not found
dpkg: error processing install-info (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
install-info
Error in function:

Do you connect to the Internet through a proxy?

Hi

Welcome to the forums :D

Press alt + F2 and type this into it.


gedit /etc/environment

Copy and paste the text from gedit into your next post.

Kind regards

Thank you for the reply.

I type in what you said matt and i got this:

acquire::http::proxy"false"

should i change it to true or something?

Well i just went into the terminal and typed in:


sudo gedit /etc/environment

and deleted the text that was inside and it now works XD

thank you very much :) :)

Hi

@OP

In your case this was the solution, however this is not a general solution (deleting the contents of /etc/environment) to fix these errors for any other people searching for a solution to USC problems.

Kind regards
