Please [edit] and add the output of `cat /etc/environment` and `cat /usr/sbin/update-info-dir`

`/etc/environment` is sourced inside `/usr/sbin/update-info-dir` and the error message most likely means there is quoting inconsistency in one of the two files resulting in a syntax parsing error.

Most likely the quoting inconsistency(*starting quote with no matching ending quote*), *although possible to be from an earlier line*, is at the end of the `/usr/sbin/update-info-dir` file towards the end of the file in the line with `install-info`

Or around paths in `/etc/environment` ... Like [this question](https://askubuntu.com/q/920048)

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
