I installed the latest updates from update manger and apt-get won't work. I think it has something to do with bumblebee/primusrun due to this error output: 

    installArchives() failed: Setting up install-info (4.13a.dfsg.1-10ubuntu4) ...
    /etc/environment: line 1: $'=\342\200\235primusrun\342\200\235': command not found
    dpkg: error processing install-info (--configure):
    subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
    No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already
    Errors were encountered while processing:

I am using a dell XPS laptop with Ubuntu 13.04.

It looks like you have copied instructions from some blog without paying attention. Perhaps you have a line such as the following in your /etc/environment file:

foo =”primusrun”

Try removing that line and run sudo apt-get install -f to continue the installation.

  • No other package should touch /etc/environment except for the package providing that file. Perhaps you can copy the contents of that file and paste it into your question?
