100% missing here, but lemme see what happens when I use the recursive -R 
since I can't ever recall using the lower case r for recursion.

That took at least 3 or 4 minutes to complete, whereas the -r was back in 
500 milliseconds or so.

The only positive response should be a never mind:

/etc/httpd/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/aptdaemon/console.py:        if 
(not apt_pkg.config.find_b("APT::Get::Assume-Yes") and

Everthing else is the ^&%$ binary file matches, or "no such file or 
directory"

So I do not see anything that looks like its my problem, and that file is 
a softlink to:
ls -l /usr/share/pyshared/aptdaemon/console.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31055 Jun 11  
2012 /usr/share/pyshared/aptdaemon/console.py

Rather ancient and which doesn't look as if its ever been molested by me.

Next fishing holes address?  Nobody home at this one...
