[Bug 947664] Re: Unpacking linux-headers unbelievably slow in Lubuntu Precise (Beta 1)

[Cefn]

The build is a stock Lubuntu Precise installed one its own, taking up
the whole disk with no special partitioning or formatting options. It's
an 8GB expandable virtual disk provided by Oracle Virtualbox.

It's hard to tell for sure what the process is which is taking so long.
It could in principle be some kind of build step, but if this is the
case, something should be shown at the console, else reporters have to
assume it's the 'unpacking' step as indicated.

The process did eventually complete. I'll see if I can recreate the next
time I do an update and carry out the diagnostic steps you describe.

Title:
  Unpacking linux-headers unbelievably slow in Lubuntu Precise (Beta 1)

Status in “dpkg” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The below is an example line in an apt-get dist-upgrade which seems to
  take 30 minutes or more on a 2.1GHz CPU (one core of a quad core
  through Virtualbox). I've been looking at it for ages, and even had
  time to log in here and file the bug  - the line is still 'hung'.

  Unpacking linux-headers-3.2.0-18 (from .../linux-
  headers-3.2.0-18_3.2.0-18.28_all.deb)

  Can anyone explain this, or is it a bug in the configuration of
  Lubuntu, Apt-get or something. I read that there was a similarly
  behaving bug to do with dpkg using paranoid file synchronization but
  this length of delay is frankly a bit crazy.
