Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dpkg
The "unpacking" stage causes loads of rattling disk activity when installing
packages with dpkg on Lucid. Because of this problem the package installation
takes much longer and puts much more stress on the harddisk than on Karmic or
Hardy. I am observing this on several machines - the problem is much more
obvious on slower machines.
This is not related to faulty harddrives - I am observing it on three machines
with different HDs. The rattling sound makes me think that the problem might be
related to improper caching and dpkg trying to operate on the disk blockwise.
I am not observing similar problems with other applications.
** Affects: dpkg (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
