Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and help to improve
Ubuntu.
The English error message that corresponds is "field width not
sufficient for storing file size"; the German translation is Ubuntu-
specific, no translation appears to be present upstream.
The error occurs because the size of the file you're trying to save
exceeds the field width available for storing this information. Since
this is a problem of the defined cpio archive format, not of the cpio
software, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do to correct this. Please
use tar instead for archives that include large files.
** Changed in: cpio (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Won't Fix
