[Bug 1530523] Re: kcm_driver_manager: Infinitely shows Collecting information

[Serhiy Zahoriya]

I'd rather remove this driver manager. Xapian index was slow since I
started using Ubuntu in 2008 and is slow to this day. I always remove it
on fresh installations.

Title:
  kcm_driver_manager: Infinitely shows Collecting information

Status in Kubuntu PPA:
  Confirmed
Status in libqapt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in libqapt source package in Xenial:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  * libQapt needs apt-xapian-index in order to search for packages, otherwise it never returns a result.
  * As a consequence Driver Manager doesn't find packages and is empty.
  * Before, apt-xapian-index was installed as a dependence of Muon (libmuon), which is not included in the default install anymore.

  [Test Case 1]

  * Update libqapt and run `kcmshell5 kcm_driver_manager`.
  * After some time (~1 minute) Driver Manager shows suggested packages.

  [Regression Potential]

  * Low, Driver Manager is useless as of now.
  * The same fix was applied in Yakkety.
