[Bug 1030278] Re: Quantal failed to install: ubiquity crashed in apt/progress/text.py in pulse: OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long

[Barry Warsaw]

Hmm:


% python -c 'import apt_pkg; print(apt_pkg.size_to_str(2147483648))'
2147 M
% python3 -c 'import apt_pkg; print(apt_pkg.size_to_str(2147483648))'
2147 M

But even if that was the problem, then it confirms my suspicion as
discussed with James on IRC, that some exception state is not being
checked.  If you look at the traceback in UbiquitySyslog.txt, the error
is getting raised during iteration over owner.workers.  Which makes no
sense <wink>.  Most likely this OverflowError is getting set some place
but not checked at the point of error, and the traceback is a red
herring.  That would mean there are two bugs here (although as you can
see, I cannot reproduce Colin's test case).
