Package: python2.7 Version: 2.7.6-8 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer,
on my system that allows for 250000 open fds, a simple "apt-cache policy iceweasel" takes several seconds, spending 99% of the time looping through all 250000 fds. Lowering the limit for open fds to the default of 1000 helps, but the full process is still 10x slower on debian sid than it is on debian stable, where the reported bug does not exist. Please see http://bugs.python.org/issue8052 for full upstream bug report and possible fixes. Issue has been fixed in python3.x upstream, but since debian still uses 2.7 you probably need to patch this manually. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.14-3.towo-siduction-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages python2.7 depends on: ii libpython2.7-stdlib 2.7.6-8 ii mime-support 3.55 ii python2.7-minimal 2.7.6-8 python2.7 recommends no packages.
