Package: apt Version: 1.1.5 Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
After a few weeks without updates, running `apt-get dist-upgrade` failed with the following massage: [...] 724 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 187 not upgraded. 18446744072246931048,2832346728 How odd... The sizes didn't match, email a...@packages.debian.org Need to get 18.4 EB of archives. After this operation, 77.8 MB of additional disk space will be used. E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/. [...] Upgrading all texlive-* packages and then trying again worked. This looks suspiciously like a 32bit overflow (log2(2832346728) ~ 31.4, 18.4EB ~ 2^64B), combined with casting to 64bit later in the process, also the upgrade download size was something below 2GB _after_ upgrading the texlive packages manually. --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-1-amd64 Debian Release: stretch/sid 500 testing www.deb-multimedia.org 500 testing security.debian.org 500 testing ftp5.gwdg.de 500 stretch neurodebian.ovgu.de 500 data neurodebian.ovgu.de --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed =======================================-+-============= libapt-pkg4.12 (>= 1.0.9.6) | 1.0.9.10 libc6 (>= 2.15) | libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1) | libstdc++6 (>= 4.9) | debian-archive-keyring | gnupg | Package's Recommends field is empty.
