Package: dpkg Version: 1.15.5.4 Severity: wishlist Currently, running dpkg on my system is rather slow and can take 10 seconds or something to read the database. I propose an option --readahead-db which uses readahead(2) on all database files; and would be called by APT during package retrieval or dependency solving, so that the database is already cached when dpkg is started to install packages.
