My Ubuntu 22.04 LTS seems to have problems with dpkg and I can't find anyone online that has the same issue as me. It makes me not able to install packages and I just don't know how to fix this.
Setting up dpkg (1.21.1ubuntu2.1) ...
head: error reading 'info_silent': Is a directory
dpkg: error processing package dpkg (--configure):
installed dpkg package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
dpkg
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
My Ubuntu Server version:
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy
I've read that a reinstall is an option, but I also can't find a good way to reinstall LTS without losing my data.
I finally got this fixed, I found a YouTube video that fixed my issue. These are the commands that fixed my problem:
sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info /var/lib/dpkg/info_silent
sudo mkdir /var/lib/dpkg/info
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/* /var/lib/dpkg/info_silent
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/info
sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info_silent /var/lib/dpkg/info
