@Matthew:
Yes, I think something more general is wrong. I noticed that a number of
the larger files used by aptitude, apt and dpkg have extreme
fragmentation on my disk (hundreds of fragments). And I have no idea why
that is - do they grow by a little bit every time, for example? Or are

I agree that it is very risky, and a backup should be performed
beforehand.

Painfully slow in Karmic with ext4 on /. Never had this problem, going

I'm not sure if its the same for all of you, but on my system it takes a
lot longer as everyones said on the first run of a command that causes
the database to be read, after that until I restart, I can then run any
other commands seemingly as fast as i could before (I don't notice any
difference).
sorry, #20 is no solution...
