Hi, I've noticed that starting not too long ago apt-listchanges has
become extremely slow at parsing changelogs during upgrades.
As an example, see how it took almost four minutes to parse the
changelogs of ~700 packages. I had downloaded them before running the
time command, of course, and quit the pager as soon as it showed up.
$ time apt upgrade --no-new-pkgs
real 3m59,963s
user 4m2,277s
sys 0m42,007s
How is this possible? Why has this started happening only recently?
Bye!
