Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/616

When using any archivebox command I get the message dpkg-query: no package found matching bluealsa, it's not blocking execution but it seems to slow it down at the beginning.

I installed archivebox by following the manual steps given in the doc, I am running it on a raspberry pi 4B 8GB running raspbian buster.
The message appears at the beginning of the output of archivebox version, archivebox server, archivebox config ... and probably others archivebox commands.
According to the archivebox version command I am missing only these dependencies : NODE_BINARY, SINGLEFILE_BINARY, READABILITY_BINARY, MERCURY_BINARY and RIPGREP_BINARY. (just in case that may be a problem).

As I said this isn't blocking execution but as it seems to make it slow I'd like to fix it. Thank you.

It's probably a side effect of running chrome or youtube-dl at init time when we get their versions.

Can you try running these commands manually chromium-browser --version and youtube-dl --version.

chromium-browser --version also show the message dpkg-query: no package found matching bluealsa (and version is 86.0.4240.197 Built on Raspbian , running on Raspbian 10 if that can help) so yeah I guess it comes from chrome.
Running that command isn't that long so I guess it isn't the reason that's making archivebox take quite a long time to run, I guess I'll live with it, it isn't that bad after all and I don't think it is blocking any functionality.
(Just in case you might still want to know that, the youtube-dl version is 2019.01.17 and it doesn't show the error)

Thank you !
