Package: apt
Version: 0.8.15.8
Severity: normal
If I run apt-cache policy (without arguments), it takes milliseconds.
If I run it under a different locale, e.g., LC_ALL=C apt-cache policy,
it takes about 4 or 5 seconds. There are some package build tools
that indirectly call apt-cache policy with LC_ALL=C, which makes the
overall package build very slow.
After digging a little deeper, the relevant locale category is
LC_MESSAGES. I guess it has to do with under which locale apt-get
update was run. strace of the apt-cache calls shows interesting
differences; I can forward those to someone privately if you can't
reproduce it.
