[Bug 993407] Re: install-info can fail to install due to syntax errors in /etc/environment

 

I had added the following lines to my /etc/environment
LC_COLLATE=C
VISUAL=/usr/local/bin/vim
EDITOR=/usr/local/bin/vim
first_weekday 2

I removed the lines and the error went away.  I was recently working on
some changes and forgot to remove these changes after testing.  I have
these lines in my user configuration files now.

Title:
  install-info can fail to install due to syntax errors in
  /etc/environment

Status in texinfo package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The package install-info sources /etc/environment and will fail to
  install if there are any configuration errors in that file.  This
  seems to happen a fair bit.
