Package: rsync Version: 3.1.2-1+deb9u1 Severity: normal Hello,
following initial steps: mkdir dir1 mkdir dir2 mkdir dir3 echo "helloworld" >dir1/file1 rsync -axHAXESW --delete dir1/ dir2/ leave me with 1 file in dir1 and 1 file in dir2. ln -P dir1/file1 dir1/file2 creates a second file/hardlink in dir1. Finally. following command: rsync -axHAXESW --delete --compare-dest=../dir2/ dir1/ dir3/ It doesn't terminate. If aborted with CtrlC, dir3 has both file1 and file2. What it should do is to not hang, and probably probably create dir3/file2 only (?) -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-7-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages rsync depends on: ii base-files 9.9+deb9u5 ii init-system-helpers 1.48 ii libacl1 2.2.52-3+b1 ii libattr1 1:2.4.47-2+b2 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u3 ii libpopt0 1.16-10+b2 ii lsb-base 9.20161125 rsync recommends no packages.
