Title:
software-center chokes on packages larger than 2GB
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
software-center chokes on packages larger than 2GB:
$ ls -lg testpkg_1.0-1_all.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 weaver 2517352042 2011-12-29 11:52 testpkg_1.0-1_all.deb
$ software-center testpkg_1.0-1_all.deb
Gives me the following error message:
Internal Error
The file "/home/weaver/testpkg_1.0-1_all.deb" could not be opened.
I did not see anything interesting in the --debug output.
I'm attaching a small tar.gz file that contains a script to build such a
package. To create the package simply do (creating the uncompressible dummy
payload will take a bit initially):
cd testpkg
fakseroot ./build
Note that I have also reproduced this issue on Ubuntu 11.04 64bit.
