Look at it this way...We have a complete DVD installation prior to 12.1 which
contains and calls for .RPM files. In theory the XML.GZ patch updates should
call for .DRPM files - only problem is the Installation program still retains
.RPM calls for files and other repositories have XML.GZ which call for .DRPM.
As to what repositories actually contains the actual .RPM or .DRPM that is
called for is anyone’s guess...I would strongly suggest you revert all
repositories back to .RPM files for prior versions to 12.1 or when the
installation media calls and contains .RPM files ceased.
BTW What is the technical reason/benefit for retrospectively changing file
formats to .DRPM..I can understand there must be a technical reason to change
new versions to a .DRPM file but I cannot understand why this has been made
retrospective to prior versions???????????
I think the best solution is to revert and back out of the retrospective
changes and put them all back to .RPM's ..Sure leave new installation programs
that contain .DRPM file alone but back this retrospective change out...
