Public bug reported: Gnome-app-install spends approximately 35 seconds on my system calculating dependencies, and it does this AGAIN after each time I install a new package. This means that I never use it, it is simply unacceptably slow, since I can have the package installed in that time using Synaptic or apt.
I couldn't find a bug about this already - I'm not sure why... perhaps for others it is not so slow, or people just don't use it. I don't think gnome-app-install will become a convenient package manager until this is resolved.
