Package: lintian-brush
Version: 0.160
Severity: important
Hi Jelmer,
I remember some similar issue happened about hlf a year ago and was
fixed afterwards. So either this is a regression or the fix did not
covered all possible cases. When I tried running lintian-brush on
https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/coinor-ipopt
my computer slowed down until becoming unusable like switching windows
became extremely slow and rendering the browser image stoped completely
leaving me with a black firefox window. After killing the lintian-brush
job it took my computer about 10min to turn back to normal operation.
I've found some lock files inside the .git repository which I had to
remove manually. As I said these symptoms where known from some time
ago.
Kind regards and thanks for maintaining lintian-brush
Andreas.

I believe this bug has been fixed. At least, I could originally reproduce it
and no longer can.
My suspicion is that this was fixed by improvements to upstream-ontologist,
which was using a mix
of blocking and async reqwest.
I'm going to close this issue since I can no longer reproduce it, but please
feel free to reopen if you can still
reproduce it.
