Thanks Carlos.
I am, of course, running 10.3 and am now most puzzled why the new deltarpm and its associated dependencies have not been upgraded in 10.3.
I can guess what your answer may be and I ask: why change horses in mid-stream with (little or) no notice?
I think the problem comes from "rpm" having changed the payload compression algorithm. You can not open a factory rpm with the 10.3 rpm, not even with the factory rpm of two months back.
The deltaiso program doesn't work on the binary iso, but on the contents of each rpm. The delta contains the modifications to each of the rpms, thus the rpms have to be opened.
Upgrading the delta rpm in 10.3 could possibly break some other things, it has not been tested... thus the experimental, non official, package from coolo.
However, factory users should already be prepared to jump over loops with fire on them :-P
I think jumping thru hoops with fire on them is now becoming the norm rather than the exception :-) .
