Public bug reported:
I have created a large deb file of game assets for Quake 4 using the
game-data-packager tool in Ubuntu 16.04. 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.
Distro: Ubuntu 16.04
