Package: dpkg Version: 1.18.15 Severity: minor Hi,
when building the piglit package, the dpkg-shlibdeps invocations take upwards of 30 minutes (on an i7, building inside a tmpfs). Most of the time seems to be spent spawning several thousand instances of dpkg-query. Is there a way to speed this up, e.g. with a cache?
