Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.4-4+b1 Followup-For: Bug #431123 The latest aptitude off of unstable now takes approximately 90 seconds to initialize. The message, "Initializing Package States" appears at the bottom of the terminal, a slowly increasing percentage appears in the lower right corner, and one of the CPU cores is pegged at 100% usage. This slow process occurs every time aptitude is launched, and every time the package list is re-built (such as immediately after installing/upgrading packages).
Once this process is complete, aptitude functions as before. I have not yet tried any of the 0.4.5 releases.
