Public bug reported: I have a private, GPG-signed repository that I use to distribute pre- packaged software to our servers and workstations. Use of this private repository has been without a hitch for years until now: Attempting to distribute a very large (2.3GB) package file, apt-fails with the following error message:
---------- # apt-get install <package> Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: <package> 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. Need to get 2,224 MB of archives. After this operation, 4,416 MB of additional disk space will be used.

But the second number, 18446744071639039386, is nowhere to be found. The package has been re-built and the repository package files re- generated several times, to no avail. This bug may be related to this one: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=623137 (Apr 17, 2011). NOTE: This bug has been reported before, and reportedly fixed, as bugs #122294 (2007) and #176675 (2009). Since this bug is clearly still happening and is referenced by an upstream Debian bug report I thought I would merely reference the other bugs here and open a new report.
