I confirm this bug. Both "update" and "updatedb" commands have frozen my computer (due to full RAM), and the second command was actually killed by the out-of-memory killer (/usr/lib/auto-apt/auto-apt-pkgdcb is indeed the "guilty" program).
The workaround mentioned by the bug reporter also works for me. Actually, after applying this workaround and the workaround mentioned in Bug #1300991, auto-apt works correctly. For those who want to apply the workaround, one way to get the 0.3.22 version of the auto-apt-pkgdcb file is to download the 32 or 64 bit DEB of auto-apt of Raring from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/auto-apt Then open the DEB in the archive manager, extract the auto-apt-pkgdcb file from its usr/lib/auto-apt directory and replace the system /usr/lib/auto-apt/auto-apt-pkgdcb file with this one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1300987 Title: /usr/lib/auto-apt/auto-apt-pkgdcb consumes over 100% RAM on 0.3.23 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/auto-apt/+bug/1300987/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
