Minutes ago I had to kill whatever was slowing me down to a crawl.
Scrollkeeper.
I don't want this. I don't need this. I don't want my system slowed
down by something I don't want / need / use / asked for (and never will
either)! I don't need to use a distro containing loads of crap added
on
@casper: What Ubuntu version do you use? There is no scrollkeeper at all
in Ubuntu 9.10, I don't assume it will return in the future.

On my karmic system, I could not find any cronjobs or large databases
related to librarian, so I do not consider it a problem. Scrollkeeper
ate my CPU once a week, but librarian/rarian-compat is well-behaved in
that matter so far.

I noticed that gnome-terminal in karmic does not depend on scrollkeeper

I also find this a pain. And very annoying that one can't remove it
without removing huge parts of gnome.
Does anyone know what the status of this is now?
Will this package be included in Jaunty?

You
alistari, you are free to adapt it :) You can edit the dependencies of
each package to not include scrollkeeper - maybe your patches will be
accepted by the developers even. Or you can edit the scrollkeeper
package to not run it by default.
Anyway, it seems like almost all packages use the

I just heard scrollkeeper is deprecated in intrepid and replaced by
rarian. rarian provides a virtual package scrollkeeper and
compatibility wrappers for the scrollkeeper commands. Don't know yet if
it's better or worse...

Hallo, it's me again.
Eight months after I first registered this bug, I see the developers
haven't even yet decided on the importance of it.
Well to put my half-pennies worth in, I think this is of fundamental
importance.
Let's look at Stallmans four freedoms: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy
Well I upgraded to Hardy, and apart from numerous other problems, there
is still this with Scrollkeeper.
I didn't try the other fixes shown above yet but did delete the cron
jobs from cron.weekly etc.
Interestingly, although the weekly cron job is gone, scrollkeeper is
still running weekly,
A reasonably nice way to disable: edit /etc/scrollkeeper.conf
Change from
OMF_DIR=/usr/share/omf
to a non-existant path

Nice workaround (I edited my config file right away), but the real fix would be
to remove the dependency on scrollkeeper for all packages.
This is actually what the maintainers of scrollkeeper recommend. From
README.Debian: You should NOT depend on scrollkeeper.
(At least) these packages
Better way (still not recommended):
sudo dpkg --force-all --remove scrollkeeper --purge

I strongly support this issue.
This damn thing just eats resources, energy, ... and the only nice way to
disable it is either hacking or removing it's binaries and/or cronjob.

I can confirm this on gutsy (and basically any Debian-based distribution
I used in the last 5 years), and I can't remember a single time where I
used scrollkeeper or its database (I use the help system so seldom that
a slower on-demand indexing would suffice). The only effect I see is a
