Title:
  software-center chokes on packages larger than 2GB

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  software-center chokes on packages larger than 2GB:
  $ ls -lg testpkg_1.0-1_all.deb 
  -rw-r--r-- 1 weaver 2517352042 2011-12-29 11:52 testpkg_1.0-1_all.deb
  $ software-center testpkg_1.0-1_all.deb
  Gives me the following error message:

      Internal Error
      The file "/home/weaver/testpkg_1.0-1_all.deb" could not be opened.

  I did not see anything interesting in the --debug output.

  I'm attaching a small tar.gz file that contains a script to build such a package. To create the package simply do (creating the uncompressible dummy payload will take a bit initially):
      cd testpkg
      fakseroot ./build

  Note that I have also reproduced this issue on Ubuntu 11.04 64bit.
