My apt search has become super slow recently

[linuxfan 0]

Doing apt search took just a few seconds before, but since some days, probably after an apt update && apt upgrade, it has become so slow that a search takes many minutes (20+ minutes) instead of seconds. I don't know why, and I don't know how to fix this. Do you know what to do?

 

The slow part of the search is where it says "Full Text Search". It reaches 50% quickly, and then goes slow.

 

If it matters: ODROID-C2, Buster

I'm having the same problem with a fresh install of Buster server on my ODROID-N2, in case it's related.

Tried to clear the apt cache and recreate it?

I just tried (apt clean, apt update), but no change. Thank you for the suggestion all the same.

Might check if 'ps -ef' or iotop has a process [ext4lazyinit],  this borks your system while cleaning inode tables after resize.
