Updated deltarpm packages fix several bugs

Publication date: 05 Nov 2015
Modification date: 05 Nov 2015
Type: bugfix
Affected Mageia releases : 5

Description

Updated deltarpm with patches from Fedora backported from Cauldron.

The update address the following issues:
* If applydeltarpm failed, a new request is made. However, it failed in
  unexpected ways if it was already in the middle of working on another
  apply request.
* If the deltarpm module for python failed to allocate memory, it would
  crash instead of gracefully failing with an error.
* An off-by-one error in DeltaRPM generation would cause a segmentation
  fault in rare circumstances.
* The output log could not be watched properly with live monitors (such as
  "tail -f").
