Bug description:
  This might be a little unusual but I created a 2.5 gig debian package
  that I've put on my apt server...

  When I do an apt-get install It fails when checking the size of the
  file and it outputs it as an exponential value.

  Since 2gig is the maximum for 32 bits I assume that this could be the
  problem...
