Package: dctrl-tools Version: 2.13.0 Severity: normal #v+ $> cat /var/lib/apt/lists/*_source_Sources | grep-dctrl . \ -sPackage,Version,Directory,Files | \ tbl-dctrl -c Package -c Version -c Directory #v-
That returns data quite fast and well. Adding a -c Files to tbl-dctrl and it starts to consume immense computing time: #v+ $> cat /var/lib/apt/lists/*_source_Sources | grep-dctrl . \ -sPackage,Version,Directory,Files | \ tbl-dctrl -c Package -c Version -c Directory -c Files #v- From doing an strace of it it does strange things with memory: 0.124650 mremap(0x48272000, 266240, 528384, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x48272000 0.256864 mremap(0x48272000, 528384, 1052672, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x48272000 0.468495 mremap(0x48272000, 1052672, 2101248, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x48272000 0.906908 mremap(0x48272000, 2101248, 4198400, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x48272000 1.829721 mremap(0x48272000, 4198400, 8392704, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x49a54000 4.028572 mremap(0x49a54000, 8392704, 16781312, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x49a54000 7.264582 mremap(0x49a54000, 16781312, 33558528, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x49a54000 14.832580 mremap(0x49a54000, 33558528, 67112960, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x49a54000 The waiting time between these mremap syscalls seems to be doubling. Maybe that is some kind of help/hint to find the problem? At least I notice that it really likes to consume a _lot_ of memory, too. So long. :) Rhonda -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.27-1-powerpc Locale: LANG=de_AT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_AT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dctrl-tools depends on: ii libc6 2.7-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries dctrl-tools recommends no packages.
