Package: doc-base Version: 0.8.16 Severity: important Hi
I'm not sure why, but sometimes doc-base seems to cause dhelp to reindex the entire cache. This means a simple daily upgrade sometimes takes 2+ hours on my Pentium 4 desktop. (I'm not sure which package is to blame, this could easily be a bug in dhelp or a debhelper script). Reading package fields... Done Reading package status... Done Retrieving bug reports...
