Terrible Synaptic performance
I'm running Armbian on a 4 GB Rock64, downloaded and installed yesterday. I've been using Debian/Raspbian/Armbian for about 10 years and I've really come to rely on Synaptic for searching and being able to make download scripts. Not every day but about once a week especially if I'm setting up something (like this Rock64).
This Synaptic's access to the package database seems incredibly slow. A single search may take 20 minutes. After installing something it reloads the list and sh
That problem was cured by not keeping the package info in compressed form as far as I'm concerned. You have to change something in a config file then delete the lists and apt-get update again. It's 10-20 times as fast now.
If you have to live without Synaptic try apt search.
