Bug Description
When I tried gdebi-kde today to install an updated kdelibs-deb (to fix the kopete issue) I suddenly noticed that my system was getting less and less responsive, with increasing disk activity.
It seemed that gdebi allocated massive amounts of memory, when I checked with "top" it said that gdebi-kde was using 56% of my available memory (1024MB). I am quite sure that this wasn't the case when I used gdebi-kde before, although I usually stick to using "dpkg" in a terminal.
The massive disk activity was apparently because of all the swapping the kernel needed to do to get more memory.
I don't have any crash log or anything, but I'll be happy to provide the devs with whatever gdb/valgrind/

I have the same problem with gdebi-kde after update to final. I haven't had this problem with Gutsy RC version.
The problem is that after launching gdebi-kde as root, it starts to allocate memory until there is no more available, and then crashes.
