Package: apt-listchanges
Version: 4.7
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
since v4.6 entered testing I noticed extremely high CPU temperatures on my
laptop (97°C while writing down this bug report); apt-listchanges hogs one CPU
thread, which stays at 100% with the command
apt-get -qq changelog [packagename]=[version]
I currently have 5835 packages installed on my laptop and each command requires
more than 9 seconds; if that command needs to be run for each installed
package, it means that at least 14.5 hours with a CPU at 90+°C are required to
completely populate the database and this, frankly speaking, doesn't seem
acceptable to me.
v3.x version of apt-listchanges didn't have such issues.
Thanks
