I can reproduce it reliably enough searching for a package in
gpk-application that I could investigate more.

Running the backend in debug mode shows that each time it is in
the

  DEBUG:Check apt cache and xapian database

phase when it gives the error.

Presumably this machine takes a little too long to open the databases,
leading to the error.

Thanks,
