Subject: Support records larger than 32kb in 'apt show'
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The default buffer size for pkgTagFile is 32kb which should be big
enough for everything… expect for enormous lists of provides,
resulting in:

$ apt show librust-winapi-dev
E: Unable to parse package file /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.br.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-amd64_Packages (2)
E: Internal Error, Unable to parse a package record

The "apt-cache show" codepath uses instead a max size for all files,
which seems a bit excessive, but works – using the max size for the file
in question seems most appropriate.

The patch is written for the 1.6.y series as a rewrite of the related
code in the 1.7.y series (commit bf53f39c9a0221b670ffff74053ed36fc502d5a0)
removed this problem before it was reported.

Closes: #905527
LP: #1787120
