Why? For what purpose do you need it? Consider to follow my hint and simply purge it: Begin forwarded message: Date: Sun, 21 Aug 2016 10:53:02 +0200 From: Ralf Mardorf <ralf.mard...@alice-dsl.net> To: ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Cc: br...@linuxsynths.com Subject: Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Python 3 daemon On Sun, 21 Aug 2016 10:27:08 +0200, br...@linuxsynths.com wrote: >I find that python 3 regularly runs a background daemon that's using >cpu more than I like.

Hi, I don't know, didn't you get any information by Internet research, e.g. from the Ubuntu Wiki? Do you need this tool? I didn't install it. [weremouse@moonstudio ~]$ lsb_release -rc Release: 16.04 Codename: xenial [weremouse@moonstudio ~]$ ls -l /usr/sbin/update-apt-xapian-index ls: cannot access '/usr/sbin/update-apt-xapian-index': No such file or directory [weremouse@moonstudio ~]$ dpkg -l apt-xapian-index Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-======================-================-================-================================================= un apt-xapian-index <none> <none> (no description available) If you shouldn't find out how to solve the issue, consider to purge the package. Regarding the Ubuntu package search, it's a recommended dependency of software-center. http://packages.ubuntu.com/yakkety/software-center For synaptic it's just a suggested dependency. http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/synaptic I'm using command line only, but if I would use a GUI, then it would be synaptic. However, as long as no other package should depend on apt-xapian-index, you could purge it, recommended and suggested dependencies aren't needed. Run sudo apt purge software-center && sudo apt autoremove to get rid of it.
