Hi all, on my fast amd64-system I discovered, that the build/update of the package database, when I want to install a package with apt-get or aptitude, is very slow.
The database steps are in 5-percent steps, and stepping lasts up to 40-45 seconds. Before it, it was about 3-7 seconds. This is either a bug, or something in the techniques of updating the database has changed, as at the second time of doing an apt-get update the build of the database is much faster (To confirm: I mean NOT the download part!) Maybe someone can confirm this. At the moment I own only an amd64-system, so I am not able to check this behaviour on an 32-bit system. Best regards Hans-J. Ullrich
