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?

I can tell you that today i deltaiso'd from 11.0bet3 to rc1 using "applydeltaiso[list=1] <deltaiso> <newiso>"

did you do a md5 check on both iso files to ensure their integrety?

I did the md5sum check to make sure the ISOs were OK before running the applydeltaiso.

When I ran the applydeltaiso on 11.0 beta2 machine awhile back when Beta3 was release, I got some error about running out memory. The machine has 1GB of RAM and 1GB of swap partition, and plenty of disk space (over 100GB) where the ISOs are on.

I am now on the openSUSE 10.3 machine with 2GB of RAM and 2GB of swap partition and roughly 150GB of disk space. Basically, all the ISOs are on the external USB HD with plenty of room for DVD creation.

I will try, again, to see if the delta ISOs are checked OK with md5sums.

Thanks for responding. I'll come back after verifying the md5sums one last time.

UPDATE 1: Well, all the ISOs checked out OK. These were the results of running md5sum:

47b3135ba2e3633ad2ebad5513abb118 openSUSE-11.0-Beta2_Beta3-DVD-i386.delta.iso
90adec92cb7fa6d5be59041bb2c0ea42 openSUSE-11.0-Beta2-DVD-i386.iso
54f33008f50d307013f62cc32f18d805 openSUSE-11.0-Beta3_RC1-DVD-i386.delta.iso

They matched perfectly to the official md5sums.

Too bad, they don't offer the option to rsync.

I am hoping someone can help solve the puzzle.

UPDATE 2: I got a tip from another SUSE Forums about the missing LZMA package. I will install that and see if it'll solve the problem.

UPDATE 3: Installing lzma package did not solve the problem. The error still the same.
