I can reproduce this issue with attached deb file.
I add testuser (uid=2097152(01000)) and create this deb file using
dpkg-deb as testuser. When I put it to current directory and run
apt-ftparchive packages ., it makes the same error. Next, I create
another deb file as my account(uid=1002)
Package: apt-utils
Version: 0.5.28.6
Severity: normal
When uid or gid in tar file is 99 (6 chars) tar encode header field. Apt
don't
support such encoded headers, so it's unable to use package with large uid/gid.
apt-ftparchive generate returns: E: Corrupted archive
