Public bug reported:
While I understand that it could be useful to automatically initialize
the database upon installation, on a large system this will result in
your "apt install" stalling for minutes/hours.
I had to kill the updatedb command from a separate terminal to be able
to use apt again.
Little excerpt from the installation:
