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). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1030278 Title: Quantal failed to install: ubiquity crashed in apt/progress/text.py in pulse: OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-apt/+bug/1030278/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
