field in order to:Why is it important?

, which is an integer interpreted as KiB. Some rare third-party packages are adding a unit at the end of this field, by mistake:System tools dpkg/apt ignore everything after the number. However, Auditbeat is currently failing to parse the list of packages once this malformed field is reached.
