MASTER: install-info breaks when /etc/environment is broken.

The suggestion is that the /etc/environment file is broken in some way. This is mine - in what way is this broken?

user@hostname:/etc$ cat environment
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/Adobe/Reader8/bin:/opt/Adobe/Reader8/Reader/intellinux/bin"
LANG="en_GB.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="en_GB:en"
LC_ALL ="en_GB.UTF-8"

I have also checked the permissions:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 205 2010-10-05 18:25 environment

I added to the path statement some months ago and this did not appear to cause any problems at the time.

Am I missing something here, or is it the case that the installer attempted to access the file in a non-legal manner?

(Curiously, when I attempted to attach the environment file, Launchpad complained "Cannot upload empty file" - although it is not empty and is listable [see above] is this significant?)

Setting up install-info (4.13a.dfsg.1-5ubuntu1) ...
/etc/environment: line 4: LC_ALL: command not found
dpkg: error processing install-info (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127

The space between LC_ALL and the "=" is not correct.

Many thanks.

It just proves that no matter how long you look at something you have
worked on, it can remain invisible!
