Ubuntu(16.04.2)学习笔记（一）如何解决dpkg: error processing install-info

一、服务器安装软件是出现以下的错误信息：

dpkg: error processing package php7.-mysql (--configure):

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code ()

二、具体步骤

1、将info文件夹更名

命令如下：www@TinywanAliYun:~# mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/ /var/lib/dpkg/info_old/

2、再新建一个新的info文件夹

命令如下：www@TinywanAliYun:~# mkdir /var/lib/dpkg/info/

3、更新文件列表：apt-get update

命令如下：www@TinywanAliYun:~# apt-get update

信息如下：

www@TinywanAliYun:~$ sudo apt update
[sudo] password for www:

Hit: http://mirrors.cloud.aliyuncs.com/ubuntu xenial-security InRelease
Hit: http://ppa.launchpad.net/certbot/certbot/ubuntu xenial InRelease 

4、重新安装 

命令如下：www@TinywanAliYun:~# apt-get -f install

信息如下：

www@TinywanAliYun:~$ sudo  apt-get -f install

5、执行完上一步操作后会在新的info文件夹下生成一些文件，现将这些文件全部移到info_old文件夹下 

命令如下：www@TinywanAliYunu:~# mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/* /var/lib/dpkg/info_old/

6、把自己新建的info文件夹删掉 

命令如下：www@TinywanAliYun:~# rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/info

7、把info_old文件夹重新改回info 

命令如下：www@TinywanAliYun:~# mv /var/lib/dpkg/info_old/ /var/lib/dpkg/info/

8、输入上述命令之后。

 在执行 sudo apt-get update 就不会有问题了

9、继续到第一步的安装信息
