Title:
  Apt reporting wrong package size for large packages

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Bug #815895 and #250909 deal with the same kind of problem, but in a
  different manner. #250909 has solved the error of being able to
  download and install large packages, but during the download there
  still seems to be a remnant of the error

  $ sudo apt-get install matlab-2011b-uomph

  Notice how the left percentage is at 75% (which is correct), but the
  middle percentage is stuck at zero, and it calculates the size as 18.4
  EB.

  I am unaware of how apt works though. Is the 18.4 EB coming from the
  server, or is it coming from the apt client itself?
