Using ssize_t doesn't help 32bit systems as ssize_t is only on 64bit
systems larger than an int.
Either way, the issue should be fixed in a newer release of APT, see LP:
#250909 and debians APT version 0.7.26~exp6 for details. It might be
possible that this is not completely fixed for everyone through as
debugs #632271 suggests which is only fixed in debian experimental for
now (as these kind of changes make an abi break nessary and are
therefore out of question for a sane backport).
It would be cool if you could test these versions and report back. I am
closing this bug in the meantime. If it is really not fixed in newer
versions please reopen!
