Title:
APT fails on packages >= 2 GB
Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
"apt-get install <package>" fails when trying to install packages
larger than approximately 2 GB.
The reason is that APT uses incorrect data types - it counts bytes in
floating point(!) as well as signed 32-bit variables, and uses atoi()
to convert string representations of sizes to numbers.
The attached patch makes APT use ssize_t and atol().
Symptoms when installing from a private repository containing large
packages:
# apt-get install matlab2011b
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
matlab2011b-bin
The following NEW packages will be installed:
matlab2011b matlab2011b-bin
0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 126 not upgraded.
2.2856e+09,-2.00936e+09
How odd.. The sizes didn't match, email apt at packages.debian.org
Need to get 2,286MB/2,286MB of archives.
After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used.
