Bug description:
  I have a private, GPG-signed repository that I use to distribute pre-
  packaged software to our servers and workstations.  Use of this
  private repository has been without a hitch for years until now:
  Attempting to distribute a very large (2.3GB) package file, apt-fails
  with the following error message:

  ----------
  # apt-get install <package>
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree       
  Reading state information... Done
  The following NEW packages will be installed:
    <package>
  0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
  Need to get 2,224 MB of archives.
  After this operation, 4,416 MB of additional disk space will be used.
  Get:1 http://<url>/ stable/main <package> amd64 4 [2,224 MB]

  Failed to fetch http://[<url-deleted>]/./pool/<package>_4_amd64.deb  Size mismatch
  W: Bizarre Error - File size is not what the server reported 2224455066 18446744071639039386
  E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
  ----------

  The correct file size of the package file is: 2224455066

  The entry for this package in the repository's Packages file:
  ----------
  Package: <package>
  Version: 4
  Architecture: amd64
  Maintainer: Michael Peek <peek at nimbios.org>
  Installed-Size: 4312636
  Filename: ./pool/<package>_4_amd64.deb

  ----------

  Note that the size listed in the Packages entry is correct, and
  corresponds to the first number reported by the "Bizarre Error"
  warning returned by apt-get.  But the second number,
  18446744071639039386, is nowhere to be found.

  The package has been re-built and the repository package files re-
  generated several times, to no avail.  This bug may be related to this
  one: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=623137 (Apr 17,
  2011).

  NOTE: This bug has been reported before, and reportedly fixed, as bugs
  #122294 (2007) and #176675 (2009).  Since this bug is clearly still
  happening and is referenced by an upstream Debian bug report I thought
  I would merely reference the other bugs here and open a new report.
