Resolve error when installing software using apt-get [Linux]


When I was using the apt-get command to install software in a Linux system, I encountered the following error message:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I found a helpful solution in Google search results, as follows: 

cd /var/lib/dpkg/            # Navigate to the dpkg directory
sudo mv info/ info_bak       # Rename the info folder first
sudo mkdir info              # Create a new info folder
sudo apt-get update          # Update
sudo apt-get -f install      # Repair
sudo mv info/* info_bak/     # After executing the previous step, some files will be generated in the new info folder. Now move all these files to the info_bak folder
sudo rm -rf info             # Delete the newly created info folder
sudo mv info_bak info        # Rename the previous info folder back
