reassign libtext-wrapi18n-perl thanks I believe that I've narrowed the problem down to Text::WrapI18N taking quite long to wrap large quantities of text. I've attached an example program that takes this long to run on my laptop here:
76.98user 5.18system 1:23.87elapsed 97%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+2399274minor)pagefaults 0swaps If I change it to use Text::Wrap instead, it takes much less time: 0.76user 0.00system 0:00.79elapsed 96%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+1076minor)pagefaults 0swaps I'm not 100% sure if this is all of the delay in running debconf. If it is, then you should be able to avoid the delay by removing libtext-wrapi18n-perl and debconf-i18n, and installing debconf-english. Then your debconf will use the much faster Text::Wrap module, and should run without delay. -- see shy jo
