Hi Kevin, Thanks for the updated patch. Looks good with initial testing. I'll check it into CVS in a couple of days. I can't remember why split-string is used in apt-utils-build-completion-table; maybe there is no good reason. The problem remains with the use of split-string in apt-utils-build-package-list, with quadratic time, or whatever the dependence is, is confined to mule variants IIRC, the nomule variants working OK.
