Bug#522238: apt-get source cannot deal with large free space
Package: apt
Version: 0.7.21~exp2
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/apt-get
Our RAID will soon be full. It is not, yet. If apt-get cannot count till 8658233088 (an weakness that is easy to forgive) then it should at least recognise the number as sufficiently large and not bail out.
$ apt-get source unixodbc
