[Bug 798632] Re: Software center runs update-apt-xapian-index every time it starts

 

s-c seems to trigger an update-apt-xapian-index on every startup which
uses 100% cpu for 2min30. Apart from making the laptop fans spin up, it
also indirectly slows down software-center itself..

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  Every time I run software-center it runs update-apt-xapian-index which takes up 100% CPU
  How to replicate:
  1. run software-center
  2. check the process list(run top)
  3. there will be a process update-apt-xapian-index which will take up 80-100& cpu time
  It will run run for about 30 sec. and the computer will be slugish during that time
