This is new, after the latest pacman update along with 4.6.13, when running $ pacman -Qi somepackage for the first time it takes 15 seconds for any response. E.g., $ time pmqi colord Name : colord Version : 1.4.3-1 Description : System daemon for managing color devices Architecture : x86_64 URL : https://www.freedesktop.org/software/colord Licenses : GPL2 Groups : None Provides : None Depends On : lcms2 libgusb polkit sqlite systemd dconf dbus libgudev shared-mime-info Optional Deps : argyllcms: color profiling colord-sane: SANE support Required By : gtk3 Optional For : cups Conflicts With : None Replaces : shared-color-profiles Installed Size : 6.60 MiB Packager : Jan Alexander Steffens (heftig) <jan.steffens@xxxxxxxxx> Build Date : Sat 21 Apr 2018 02:58:03 PM CDT Install Date : Sun 22 Apr 2018 09:59:37 PM CDT Install Reason : Installed as a dependency for another package Install Script : No Validated By : Signature real 0m15.083s user 0m0.011s sys 0m0.194s That's 15 seconds waiting for something that wasn't there before? Subsequent -Qi queries are against near instantaneous as they have always been. Is there something new that causes some type of handshake or authentication that takes time to establish on 1st call. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
