Description of problem: applydeltaiso, going from Fedora-16-Alpha-i386-DVD.iso to Fedora-16-Beta.TC1-x86_64-DVD.iso get "payload uncompress error" Terminal session follows: applydeltaiso Fedora-16-Alpha-i386-DVD.iso diso/Fedora-16-Alpha_Beta.TC1-x86_64-DVD.diso Fedora-16-Beta.TC1-x86_64-DVD.iso reading 387717880 bytes from old iso...done BackupPC.x86_64: copying unchanged payload ConsoleKit.x86_64: copying unchanged payload ConsoleKit-libs.x86_64: copying unchanged payload ConsoleKit-x11.x86_64: copying unchanged payload Django.noarch: copying unchanged payload GConf2.x86_64 (xz.2): applying delta payload uncompress error Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): applydeltaiso-3.6-0.6.20110223git.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. See terminal session above 2. 3. Actual results: payload uncompress error Expected results: Generation of updated iso Additional info: I have verified checksums of the ISO's and disos involved.
On re-reading, I see I got the 32-bit and 64-bit iso's mixed up. Still, I feel the error message is obscure. I would have expected a message pointing out the mismatch.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This bug is still valid. Reopening.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19
I've just pushed out a fix for applydeltaiso that should give more verbose error messages when it's unable to apply a deltaiso, but, unfortunately, applydeltaiso doesn't have any way of knowing what arch an ISO is, so can't give more specific error messages than basically "You're trying to apply this to the wrong iso". Please test against deltarpm-3.6-0.13.20130520git and verify that it does give a reasonable error message. If not, please reopen this bug.
