Manually replacing the apt-xapian-index package with the Maverick version solved this issue for me in Lucid. However I don't get why this fix isn't being officially released for Lucid. In comment #47 Tormod Volden suggested following instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates, but this seems to be adressed to developers ("Upload the fixed package to release-proposed with the patch in the bug report, a detailed and user-readable changelog, and no other unrelated changes"), which I am not.
Can anybofy tell me why an existing fix to such a severe performance bug (on a netbook anyway) isn't being backported into the LTS, and what a user could do to get it there? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/363695 Title: update-apt-xapian-index uses too much CPU -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
