[Bug 947664] Re: Unpacking linux-headers unbelievably slow in Lubuntu Precise (Beta 1)

[Brian J. Murrell]

@xChris Wow.  Gear down there big rig.

Yes, it sucks if you are still experiencing this bug, but just how
entitled are you that you think you can react as you have?  How much did
you pay for your Ubuntu software?  Do you have a paid support contract
with Canonical?  If so surely there is a better channel for you to show
your displeasure than this bug tracker.

Title:
  Unpacking linux-headers unbelievably slow in Lubuntu Precise (Beta 1)

Status in dpkg:
  New
Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The below is an example line in an apt-get dist-upgrade which seems to
  take 30 minutes or more on a 2.1GHz CPU (one core of a quad core
  through Virtualbox). I've been looking at it for ages, and even had
  time to log in here and file the bug  - the line is still 'hung'.

  Unpacking linux-headers-3.2.0-18 (from .../linux-
  headers-3.2.0-18_3.2.0-18.28_all.deb)

  Can anyone explain this, or is it a bug in the configuration of
  Lubuntu, Apt-get or something. I read that there was a similarly
  behaving bug to do with dpkg using paranoid file synchronization but
  this length of delay is frankly a bit crazy.
