Question About Applydeltaiso

I haven't been able to use applydeltaiso to update the openSUSE 11.00 Beta2 to Beta3 on two different machines running openSUSE: one has 11.0 Beta2 and the other has 10.2

I am on the openSUSE 10.2 machine and got the following errors when running the command format 'applydeltaiso old delta new'

Here was the error as normal user:

applydeltaiso openSUSE-11.0-Beta2-DVD-i386.iso openSUSE-11.0-Beta2_Beta3-DVD-i386.delta.iso openSUSE-11.0-Beta3-DVD-i386.iso
reading 754275019 bytes from old iso...done
cracklib-dict-full (???): applying delta
payload uncompress error

I had updated ISO images for openSUSE before using the same command without problem.

Is there something new about the applydeltaiso?

I don't want to download the whole DVD just to get an update and wasting a lot of bandwidth. Already got the Beta2-to-Beta3 and Beta3-to-RC1 delta files to upgrade the DVD-Beta2 to DVD-RC1 but I ran into the error above.

Can someone help?

Just guessing:
Do you have the LZMA (compression) rpm installed?
(They have gone to that to stuff more on the CD/DVDs)

It looks like the package is not installed, if I did the command right:

rpm -q lzma
package lzma is not installed

I will try to install the missing package and see.

Thanks for the tip.

UPDATE 1: Installing lzma package did not solve the problem. Still same errors.

I don't have any idea, the app is supposed to be installed default.

Check your syntax: http://en.opensuse.org/Download_Help#Deltaisos

You might PM Ken Yap and ask him to reply; Ken is very knowledgeable.

Good luck

Ha!
