Title:
Installing packages manually is slow
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Installing debian packages manually via Software Center is too slow.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Double-click a .deb package in Nautilus
2) Wait for USC to open
3) Click install when the package details is shown
What should happen:
The actual install process (starting when user clicks the install button)
should be about
as fast as installing the package in the terminal with sudo dpkg -i [package].
What happens instead:
On my machine USC is 4-5 times slower than plain dpkg. I used my own game as
a test application:
dpkg -i: 4 secs
USC: 20 secs (time elapsed since the install button was clicked and password
given)
I repeated this several times with similar results.
The test application (dustrac):
