Comment 12 for bug 1030278

This bug was fixed in the package python-apt - 0.8.7ubuntu2

---------------
python-apt (0.8.7ubuntu2) quantal; urgency=low

  * python/string.cc, tests/test_lp1030278.py: Fix StrSizeToStr() so that
    1) it first checks for PyLong-ness so that in Python 3 on i386, it
    will be able to convert larger numbers (via doubles rather than ints);
    2) before doing the conversions through the apt API, check to see if a
    Python exception occurred, e.g. OverflowError, and return an error
    condition in that case instead of masking it. (LP: #1030278)
