Thanks for the reply Jonathan. I checked my 12.04 Lubuntu machines. 2 had apt-xapian-index installed, 2 didn't. Does this verify that there is a problem? Let me say that if the workaround requires more than an hour searching google... it's not a workaround. Could we blacklist this package for lubuntu? Where do I file the bug?

No further development "effort" is required, we already have both: Workaround: sudo apt-get purge apt-xapian-index Fix: apt-xapian-index is not included by default in Lubuntu 12.04. I don't think it is included by default in Lubuntu 11.10 either. Are these not sufficient for your needs? > I found two workarounds thru google. > One is to open "update manager" and disable the updates, by clicking the > settings button. > The other is to run the update at low priority. (I doubt it even works) It's much simpler to just uninstall it, if you don't want it, IMO.
