Forget HTTPS: why doesn't apt support any form of threaded installation? On long updates it looks so wasteful to see one package installed at a time, probably when it doesn't always need to be that way.
- jwilk 9y agoNo, dpkg doesn't support this. I doubt installing stuff in parallel would help anyway. The primary reason it's slow, is that dpkg fsync()s like crazy. Run it under eatmydata, and it'll be much faster.
