--- Begin Message ---Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.3-3 Severity: normal Hi, after discovering a corrupt package on my system, someone recommended installing debsums. However, on this machine, a PII-266, debsums takes 3 minutes of CPU time every time any package is added, removed or updated using aptitude. Should debsums be taking so long when called by aptitude? -- Package-specific info: aptitude 0.6.3 compiled at Jul 10 2010 21:52:22 Compiler: g++ 4.4.4 Compiled against: apt version 4.8.0 NCurses version 5.7 libsigc++ version: 2.2.4.2 Ept support enabled.

--- Begin Message ---Hi, This was not a bug in aptitude, but in debsums, and should not be present now. There used to be a file called "90debsums" installed by package debsums in /etc/apt/* directories, to add a "hook" so that after dpkg finished this command was called. There are probably other ways to see the content of that file, but you can see the relevant contents of the "hook" in this bug report, including the command line that you see when grepping: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=535364 So the fix that you propose would have to be applied in that file (if the package names installed were available to that hook). But according to the changelog, in recent versions of debsums they removed this file: http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/d/debsums/unstable_changelog debsums (2.0.52) unstable; urgency=low [...] * Remove the obsolete 90debsums apt configuration file on install and make the keep option to generate md5sums file using debsums a noop - Add dependency on dpkg version 1.16.3, which generates md5sums [...] -- Ryan Niebur <[email protected]> Mon, 18 Jun 2012 17:55:57 -0700 So I am closing the bug report because it does not seem to have anything to do with aptitude, and the immediate cause launching the problematic command was removed (or moved elsewhere). I add Axel in copy because he was the last person who touched the package debsums, so maybe he is more familiar with it and can give a bit of insight if necessary, and e.g. reassign to other package if the problem is still present but elsewhere. Cheers. -- Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <[email protected]>
