dpkg taking a bit too long ...
Hi all
(please Cc)
Ok, that is fun:
$ time eatmydata dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/papirus-icon-theme_20211001-1_all.deb
(Reading database ... 1215786 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../papirus-icon-theme_20211001-1_all.deb ...
Unpacking papirus-icon-theme (20211001-1) over (20210901-1) ...
Setting up papirus-icon-theme (20211001-1) ...
real 15m28.611s
user 0m12.769s
sys 15m17.049s
$
That is on SSD, with eatmydata.
I checked iotop-c during these 15min, a ridiculuously small amount of
I/O was going on, but dpkg was 15min at 100% CPU.
Is this **true** or am I getting crazy?
That cannot be by design, or?
Best
Norbert
