Public bug reported: In Kubuntu 11.10 KDE 4.7.3 I downloaded the Google Music Manager app from https://music.google.com/music/listen#manager_pl as a 64-bit .deb file . Dolphin's Open With... offered QApt Package Installer, which is qapt-deb-installer version 1.2.
Its Package Installer window > Details tab shows "Installed Size: 9.5 KiB". That's clearly wrong, it's several orders of magnitude off. % dpkg-deb -I /tmp/google-musicmanager-beta_current_amd64.deb reports new debian package, version 2.0. size 3033010 bytes: control archive= 4690 bytes. ... Maintainer: Google Music Team <[email protected]> Installed-Size: 9704 ... qapt-deb-installer seems to be interpreting this Installed-Size number as bytes and converting it to KiB, but that's wrong. I've spent an hour searching teh IntarWub for Installed-Size and the only hint I've found of its intent is in deb-substvars(5) which says "If this variable isn't set dpkg-gencontrol will use du -k debian/tmp to find the default value." I.e. it is indeed already in K (1024 bytes, kibibytes, KiB, etc.). GDebi Package Installer's very similar Details tab says the same .deb file is Size: 9704 KiB. So a fix is to just do what gdebi-kde does, which is display the deb's Installed-Size followed by "KiB" rather than (??) performing some units conversion.
