Ok here are more details about the bug...

when you type the apt-get install command you get the following:
...
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 upgraded.
2.54425e+09, -1.75072e+09
How odd.. The sizes didn't match, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Need to get 2544 MB archives.
...


If you say yes to the installation, while its downloading you'll get something 
like this for the download status:

10% [1 pkg 41515444/18.4EB 0%]
55.5MB/s 19s


And when the transfer is finished you get the following error:

Failed to fetch http://server.domain/amd64/pkg.deb Size mismatch
W: Bizarre Error - File size is not what the server reported 2544251876 
18446744071958836196
E: Unable to fetch some archives, try running apt-get update or apt-get 
--fix-missing


When I saw the error message that the server reported a different file size, I 
browsed to the server directly with firefox and try to download the file with 
the browser and everything went perfectly. So I'm now 100% sure that the 
problem resides inside apt.

Tell me if you need more info.
