Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
3 minutes is inherently finite, or infinitely less then infinite. However, I can confirm this at least for 10.04 and even on a package without dependencies. Selecting "sl" for installation took 3 minute 1s. Also, selecting a large list such as the "All" section takes even longer for me: 3m14. The 13 extra seconds might be the time it takes to populate the list with the search results. I'm attaching my /proc/cpuinfo, to Eric M. Smith: please attach your /proc/cpuinfo as well. (You can find it under "filesystem".) Lastly, what is this "search cache" you speak of? The only cache that's speeding up package searches is the disk cache AFAIK. ** Attachment added: "cpuinfo" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/658924/+attachment/2081661/+files/cpuinfo ** Summary changed: - Synaptic processing appears to be infinite loop. + Synaptic hangs several minutes (de)selecting or listing packages -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/658924 Title: Synaptic hangs several minutes (de)selecting or listing packages -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
