Synaptic runs forever
 
How long should Synaptic take to Search for a package? I've left it alone for almost 10 minutes with the CPU sitting at 100%. How can I tell if it's doing something?

I agree with the last post. Besides, you must be running Synaptic on one of the Debian setups? You should give more information about what you are doing.

I'm running Synaptic under Easy Debian. It's a brand new install. It seems that if you search for something it'll think long and hard about it before responding. After my post I waited about 3-4 more minutes (at 100% CPU) and I got the results of the search.

The only way around this is to browse for the items you need rather than searching.

This is not a mainstream sort of thing and should probably be reported where Debian discussions are taking place. General is for stuff that applies to all tablet users. The people who know most about this may not even see your post here.

As far as I know, that is 'normal'.
