I'm not sure...

847   fprintf(stderr, "could not read signature header\n");

There are several more of these, and also there are other checks happening.

1467 fprintf(stderr, "junk at end of payload\n");

That and a bunch of possible skipped file related messages suggests
drpm is not so simple. At least it seems like it isn't just some
simple difference map between two rpms.
