** Description changed:
$ time apt-mark showauto >/dev/null
- real 0m0.587s
- user 0m0.552s
- sys 0m0.016s
+ real 0m0,620s
+ user 0m0,557s
+ sys 0m0,052s
When I run the command first time, it is even much slower.
- I could do the job in fraction of a time using awk in POSIX shell
- script:
+ I could do the job* in fraction of a time using awk in POSIX shell script
+ (name it ./apt-mark-showauto.sh):
+ #!/bin/sh
auto_file='/var/lib/apt/extended_states'
- eval $(apt-config shell auto_file Dir::State::extended_states/f)
awk '/^Package:/ {
pkg=$2
- getline; arch=$2
- getline
- if($2==1) print pkg ":" arch
- }' "$auto_file" | CL_ALL=C sort -u
+ while (getline > 0 && $0) {
+ if ($1 == "Auto-Installed:") {
+ if ($2==1) print pkg
+ break
+ }
+ }
+ }' "$auto_file"
- real 0m0.019s
- user 0m0.008s
- sys 0m0.000s
+ $ time ./apt-mark-showauto.sh >/dev/null
- That prints architecture for every package and shows entries in slightly
- different order, though. And the file could be out of date showing
- packages that are not installed?!?
+ real 0m0,005s
+ user 0m0,002s
+ sys 0m0,004s
+
+ Tested in Ubuntu 20.04.
+
+ *) The script omits Architecture information, though. And should apt-
+ config be queried for the extended_states file path?
Similarly
- apt show <pkg>
+ apt-cache show <pkg>
is slow. (It also shows whether a package is manually or automatically
installed.
