dpkg commands taking too long
Hello,
All of the commands that use the dpkg are taking too long to complete. For example a "dpkg-query -W --showformat '${Status} ${Package} ${Version}\n'" takes more than 5 minutes. Other machine with the same caracteristics and processment, takes much less time. I've done a strace against the process and received this output:

It takes too much time on the brk() lines.
Any idea?
