Muon checks the modification time of `/var/lib/apt-xapian-index/update- timestamp`, `/var/lib/dpkg/status` and `/var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin`. Only if the timestamp of the index is older than any of the other two, then the index is rebuilt.
Something is updating/touching files more often than expected. Maybe unattended upgrades? Could you please run in a shell sudo update-apt-xapian-index --force just to see if the index is built correctly or it fails somewhere. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1741767 Title: Muon rebuilds search index very often and inefficient To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/muon/+bug/1741767/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
