Comment 7 for bug 576056

It seems this problem has returned.

LM 17

mint@mint ~ $ gksu mintinstall
add_categories took 1.608 ms
build_matched_packages took 0.207 ms
add_packages took 41997.929 ms
add_reviews took 1280.695 ms

show_category took 10.202 ms
Overwriting reviews file in /root/.linuxmint/mintinstall/reviews.list
update_reviews took 826.570 ms

Regardless that this is running from a USB drive, 41 seconds to add packages is rather long to the point that it looks like nothing is happening at all.

"gksu mintinstall" is the exact command when clicked on in the menu, hence why it was used. apples-to-apples and all that.
