Describe the bug
There are some packages that show wrong size before downloading them. I'm not talking about flatpak ones because that's still the issue with flatpak backend. Link is in the topic posted later.

I'm posting this here now, because exact post in linux mint github discussion didn't get resolved up to this time: https://github.com/orgs/linuxmint/discussions/103

Screenshots
