Package: lsb-release
Version: 4.1+Debian4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
To reproduce the problem, simply run:
$ /usr/bin/time /usr/bin/lsb_release -sd
Debian GNU/ testing (wheezy)
1.84user 0.05system 0:01.91elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 137200maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+14470minor)pagefaults 0swaps
This is on a hot cache with a 2.6GHz Core 2. On a cold cache this can take upi
to 4 seconds. What makes it so slow is that it systematically calls
'apt-cache policy':
$ LANG=C /usr/bin/time apt-cache policy >/dev/null
1.72user 0.07system 0:01.80elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 137200maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+11680minor)pagefaults 0swaps
The patch below works around this issue for non-testing Debian versions by not
calling guess_release_from_apt() if we don't need to. This gets the execution
time down to 0.03 seconds. Unfortunately this does not help me since I'm
running Debian Testing :-(
