Public bug reported: Steps to reproduce: 1. Launch Synaptic. 2. Click Reload. 3. Close Synaptic. 4. After some time open Synaptic again (without 'apt-get update', 'aptitude update'). 5. Get 'Rebuilding search index' message with background process /usr/sbin/update-apt-xapian-index and high CPU load and high temperature as the result.
Expected results: Synaptic runs update-apt-xapian-index only when it's really needed. Actual results: Synaptic rebuilds search index very often and inefficient.
