    Driver Manager stuck on collecting information until rebuilding xapian index

    Hi all,

    I recently changed to Kubuntu 19.10 and am super satisfied, so first off thank you all for your amazing work!

    I have a tiny issue I was hoping someone here might have a simple solution for - whenever trying to use Driver Manager, I first have to run update-apt-xapian-index, otherwise it gets stuck at "Collecting information about your system...". Is this a bug? Should I report this somewhere? I found the temporary solution (updating the xapian index, which works between reboots) here: https://askubuntu.com/a/766689/753115, and that answer does point to a bug report, but I can't really tell what's the status of that thread. Seems like it was solved in some distribution but maybe not in others. I was a little confused.

    In any case thank you all very much and have a great weekend!

    That is an old bug, and was fixed way back when.
    This is a more current bug reoport, so if you add your input and workaround there, it may help point out where to look for a fix:
