Seems to be a wider issue. We already had one of those today: https://devrant.com/rants/1325601/...

Ma30h56477yIt's already have an open issue on user voice and the reason for this is because some packages are downloaded from remote source and updater can't get their file size, so it can't know total size of an update.

Brolls31557y@Ma30h I call a tad bullshit on that.
Even if this is the case, few issues:
Downloading arbitrary packages from a third party source as part of their installer is clearly a huge risk.
Why don’t they just mirror the packages they need, that way they’d know the size, surely?
I dunno, if it really is the cause it’s utterly lazy on their part, and if not, then it’s a silly bug.
