Public bug reported: I am using Ubuntu 9.04. When I tried to install wireshark from synaptic, it continues returning:
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) but it was actually installed successfully. After that, when I use apt-get or synaptic, it returns the same error message every time. When I run "sudo apt-get install -f" manually, it returns: w...@wing:~$ sudo apt-get install -f [sudo] password for wing: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 13 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed. After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used. Setting up menu (2.1.41ubuntu1) ... install-info: No dir file specified; try --help for more information. dpkg: error processing menu (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: menu E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) It seems there are some problem with the package "menu" After a hard google, I found the solution from here: http://naveendageek.blogspot.com/2009/03/install-info-no-dir-file-specified-try.html I did "mv /usr/local/bin/install-info /usr/local/bin/install-info-gnu" and did "sudo apt-get install -f" again, the error message disappeared. Then I reinstalled wireshark and everything is OK. After this, I changed install-info-gnu back into install-info. It seems wireshark's installing package recognizes the gnu version install-info only. ** Affects: wireshark (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- installing issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406435 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
