Comment 0 for bug 1713586

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
