Both scripts have the same output.
For example :

38866 < 139532 : Ignoring dhcpcd-4.0.2-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
38866 < 88713 : Ignoring dhcpcd-4.0.2-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz
38866 < 87880 : Ignoring dhcpcd-4.0.3-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
38866 < 67312 : Ignoring dhcpcd-4.0.4-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
38866 < 57650 : Ignoring dhcpcd-5.0.2-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz

vs

dhcpcd-3.2.1-1_to_4.0.2-1-i686.delta 139532
dhcpcd-4.0.2-1_to_4.0.2-2-i686.delta 88713
dhcpcd-4.0.2-2_to_4.0.3-1-i686.delta 87880
dhcpcd-4.0.3-1_to_4.0.4-1-i686.delta 67312
dhcpcd-4.0.4-1_to_5.0.2-1-i686.delta 57650

but I checked several other packages as well.

So I am not sure what you are trying to explain.

Actually I was using the retval first, I just changed it at the end,
and kept the same result.
But now I just realize there is something wrong about it, and I
actually don't know how it works at all. I set deltaname and newsize
inside a subshell so normally we cannot access these outside.
