"Total size" shows as "Unknown" for purchased/Independent applications

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Ubuntu Software Center 5.0.3.1, Ubuntu 11.10

1. Go to the screen for an independent application, e.g. PDF Studio. <http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/pdfstudio>
2. Scroll down to the data section.

What you see: "Total size Unknown"

What you should see: The download size and installed size, as usual.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

This will work for new apps but for old apps it will report "0" unless the agent backfills the data.

[Anthony Lenton (elachuni)]

Marking as fix committed on the server, even though all the code is in place; somebody still needs to backfill the data now at some point, as most apps are showing up in the api with binary_filesize: null

Contrary to what Michael Vogt (mvo) says above, the latest addition to the software-center, 'RC Mini Racers', still has 'Total size Unknown' in it's description.

@jarlath - do you have a screenshot and more detail. I see where RC Mini Racers shows the size correctly in software-center 5.2.6.
