Thanks for the bug report. I'm closing it because the bug has been fixed
in Feisty. It won't be fixed in 6.10 because the bug doesn't fit
requirements for backporting. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports for more information.

Hi,
this bug should be marked as fixed, the problem does not exist anymore on
feisty.

You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu
Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu.
This seems to be fixed on feisty where apt-index-watcher seems to be
removed completely.

My laptop (Dell SmartStep 250N) is prone to overheating with prolonged
high CPU use. This bug is enough to force a thermal shutdown at times -
VERY inconvenient. Surely it should be given a higher priority?

apt-index-watcher is adding an error message in syslog complaining of a
missing file, this is what is taking up resources
Be sure to have the package debtags installed to stop this problem.

for me there is no syslog message from apt-index-watcher and the debtags

So this is no solution for me.

simple workaround until updated packages are available: edit /etc/init.d
/apt-index-watcher and insert a line just containing exit 0 after line
1 and apt-index-watcher won't be started any more (at least not until
you update the apt-index-watcher package - an updated package would
recreate this
I moved pkgcache.bin and srcpkgcache.bin out of /var/cache/apt-index-
watcher, and the CPU spikes vanished. The files were replaced with
newer copies, and the new copies had the exact same md5sum as the old
ones I moved out.
So I'm thinking that one could run:
$ sudo touch
Interesting. Trying to recreate the slowdown, I ran aptitude update.
A short time later (in minutes, I think) adept-notifier popped up. I
needed to update GNU tar.

confirmed 0.3.9ubuntu5 on a fresh kubuntu edgy installation..
starting adept stops it but on next reboot the cpu-spikes come back
again.
i cant just remove it because it would also remove kubuntu-desktop,
etc...
i know you are working hard, but please consider giving this bug a
higher priority.
I don't have adept installed (I removed it ;) though I'm running KDE so
I cannot start close it. Synaptic doesn't do the same but ps -Af|grep
index - kill the root process does it..

Just to confirm, this is unpleasant behaviour: on my Dell laptop, apt-

~5 seconds. Killing apt-index-watcher fixes the problem and the fan has
remained off since then.

It is very weird. On my Laptop with Pentium ULV 1,2 it seems to be fixed

every 5-8 seconds which results in highest CPU clock all the time

I've experienced this with 0.3.9ubuntu5 on stable Edgy.
I'm not sure if it uses overly much resources in total, it's just that
it decides to pop in every few seconds to do something at full steam for
a while that's causing problems for me. Since it isn't niced, it causes
frame rates in games to

I've got a local mirror of edgy-i386 on an external HD on my laptop.
apt-index-watcher runs my CPU up to 100% every 5-7 seconds for a couple
seconds, even though my local mirror has not been updated.
Not very good for laptops at all, the battery use and fans, and cpu
running at full throttle,
This just started for me today. I noticed that the fan on my laptop was
running continuously. Watching a CPU graphed showed a spike every 4
seconds or so. Obviously, it is very bad for battery life on a laptop. I
just noticed this today.
Currently using apt-index-watcher_0.3.9ubuntu4.
