this will go in lucid-proposed and such, yes?

In fact a database has already been implemented. See the following

If you want that feature, please vote for this idea!

1sec but I wouldn't recommend to a distribution to use a wrapper (just

edit to my comment above - apt-get clean doesn't actually solve this
problem. I was seeing a speed-up simply due to the database being in the
hard drive cache :(

For me, this solved the problem:
apt-get clean
This basically deletes all the downloaded .deb files (which are no
longer needed after they have been installed), which has the added
advantage of freeing up some disk space.

I don't know what exactly this workaround does, but it does NOT work
for me at all. Reading database in Karmic still lasts ages as opposed
to what used to be in Hardy.

It is a workaround, not a solution.
A solution would be if this were solved automatically so users wouldn't

Cron work-around: a weekly cd /var/lib/dpkg mv info info.bak cp

zillions of tiny files in one

we should get a button to mark a comment as a viable solution.
Just like graham, the first copy took ages, but the reading now takes place
within 2 seconds, where it used to be 30s.

suspected fragmentation was an issue
#12 (Phillip Weissenbacher's) solution worked for me! -

I don't know how much good the dpkg --merge-avail $x did, but making a
copy of /var/lib/dpkg/info to defragment it did take a few minutes to
complete, and afterwards the
A moment ago, I did another copy of /var/lib/dpkg/info
This time it took 1 second to copy, whereas the first time took about 3
minutes.
So for me, I conclude that the cause of reading database taking 5+
seconds was fragmentation of /var/lib/dpkg/info

On the Debian mailing-list this has been dicussed here http://www.mail-
archive.com/debian-de...@lists.debian.org/msg245661.html.
One solution that helped me a bit (just one or two seconds faster) is the
following (taken from ):
1. $ sudo su
1. % for x in /var/lib/apt/lists/*Packages;do dpkg
Philipp Weissenbacher unfortunately, this workaround doesn't change anything
for me...
Maybe it's because I was using aptitude full-upgrade ? I'll try with apt-get
next time ;)

On my 4-year-old notebook on Hardy Reading database used to go fast.
Now I have Core2 Duo P8600 (2,4 GHz) and on Karmic it goes slowly with
steps 5%-sized, maybe 3 such steps per second. What takes so much time?
It was faster in the past...
On the other side, I don't get why apt in Ubuntu still
This dpkg-related bug isn't actually what we're talking about. Sure, it
causes apt to be slower than it could be but it still doesn't explain

Thanks, Arnaud, that really helped me too!
Every time I use apt I get annoyed when I remember how much faster
pacman for Arch Linux is. I've used Arch, but don't want to go back
there -- can't something be done to speed up apt?
