2017-08-29 00:40:44 Robert Ancell description I have created a large deb file of game assets for Quake 4 using the game-data-packager tool in Ubuntu 16.04. If I double-click on this file in Nautilus, gnome-software opens to install the file. However, the file size is incorrectly listed as over 18 exabytes (!) as per the screenshot at https://ovh.themcphails.uk/index.php/s/0pcBDXU0zztzS6a . The output from dpkg-deb and gdebi is as per http://termbin.com/32q7 . I would expect the package size in gnome-software to roughly match the package size listed (correctly) by dpkg-deb. 18 exabytes is a ludicrous estimate - has there been a signed/unsigned error? The deb package installs correctly with dpkg -i. I cannot attach the file to this bug report as it is too large, and contains proprietary code. The Quake 4 game files were obtained from GOG, and the windows install file was unpacked by innoextract. The deb was created by game-data-packager version 44. Distro: Ubuntu 16.04 gnome-software version: 3.20.5 [Impact] For .debs with a large Installed-Size GNOME Software shows the incorrect value. This is due to an integer overflow. [Test Case] 1. Launch the attached test-deb_1_all.deb file in GNOME Software 2. Check the Size field. Expected result: Size is set to 3.9GB Observed result: Size is set to 18.4EB [Regression Potential] Took upstream commit that fixed this by using a 64 bit number to calculate size. Unlikely to cause further issues.
