You have been subscribed to a public bug:
When I try to install a new package on one of my compute nodes which are
running one nice-0 task per hyperthread, there is an extremely long
delay at the end of installation as apt-check is running at nice 19 and
getting almost no cycles. Renicing it to -5 resolves the problem at
once.
It is not reasonable to make a human who you know to be sitting at the
console wait for a task running at nice 19 on a busy machine to finish,
especially if you're holding the dpkg lock the whole time.
This is with 16.04.4
