By installing the full packages instead of the deltas we would get to
know if it's one or more of the deltas that break the system or it's one
or more of the full packages.

I could do this but it takes time and effort to do it by installing
everything only to be able to tell if there's a difference somewhere.

There are several packages. How can I tell which package or its delta
did it?

I think what you said earlier, to have them compared by a knowledgeable
person, would make more sense than doing a lot of installing and test runs.

I think the comparison should be made between the full new packages and
the ones changed by the deltas.

We know now that one or more of the deltas change one or more of the
older java packages in such a way that Azureus won't work.

Now, which package or which delta is it?

What should be done imho is:

Apply all the deltas to all the packages and then compare the full new
versions to the ones changed by the deltas.

They should be identical.

If they are, the deltas are "correct" but the whole package(s) is/are bad.
If there's a difference, the delta(s) is/are bad.
