[Bug 1713219] Re: apt-mark showauto is slow

[Jarno Suni]

Do you say information about automatically installed packages can not be
read from /var/lib/apt/extended_states (or whatever file set in
configuration variable Dir::State::extended_states)? If I install
something by apt, I see modification time of
/var/lib/apt/extended_states about 1 sec later than
/var/log/apt/term.log

Title:
  apt-mark showauto is slow

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  $ time apt-mark showmanual >/dev/null

  real	0m0.610s
  user	0m0.544s
  sys	0m0.024s

  When I run the command first time, it is even much slower.

  I could do the job in fraction of a time using dpkg-query and awk.
