Hello folks,
I just thought that I would post this in case someone was also being deviled by this dist-upgrade error message.

/etc/environment: line 1: “GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID=default”: command not found
dpkg: error processing install-info (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
configured to not write apport reports
Errors were encountered while processing:
install-info
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


Here is the post I found the solution on:

====================================


The solution was as simple as adding"GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID=default" to the etc/environment as root and saving it there. (No quotations used.)

Thanks Dave.

Is that running antiX with default Testing repos or with Sid?

You're welcome.

It is with the Testing repos. I think that I got this error because I was messing with chromium on that one particular PC. My other one never had chromium installed and didn't have this problem. I'm not really sure though. __{{emoticon}}__
