That sounds likely. This makes me wonder if we should have something
like the below in apt-get:
"""
_error->Notice("The binary package information is out of date,
rebuiling it in memory. Please run any apt command as root to make
this operation fast again.")
"""
obviously the wording needs some tweaks :)
