If I double-click on this file in Nautilus, gnome-software opens to install the file. However, the file size is incorrectly listed as over 18 exabytes (!) as per the screenshot at https://ovh.themcphails.uk/index.php/s/0pcBDXU0zztzS6a . The output from dpkg-deb and gdebi is as per http://termbin.com/32q7 . I would expect the package size in gnome-software to roughly match the package size listed (correctly) by dpkg-deb. 18 exabytes is a ludicrous estimate - has there been a signed/unsigned error? The deb package installs correctly with dpkg -i. I cannot attach the file to this bug report as it is too large, and contains proprietary code. The Quake 4 game files were obtained from GOG, and the windows install file was unpacked by innoextract. The deb was created by game- data-packager version 44.
