| Currently it takes a quite a while until dpkg starts and operates since it first reads all of its status files. There is a possibility that this would be faster if dpkg would only read the files if they will be used for the operations in question and if the files would be stored in some binary files that would be used if the binary file is newer than the ascii file. Well, it's a try. | |
