Package: grsync Version: 0.3-1 Severity: normal When a transfer over SSH to a machine that requires a password to be entered (which must be the case in general, but may exclude a few cases using keys) is initiated or simulated, grsync fails if ssh-askpass is not installed, printing something like
ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/bin/ssh-askpass): No such file or direct... 3 more times Permission denied, please try again. Some repetition Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactie). rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far... rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io... This is not really cryptic, but it would be better to clearly indicate that the operation is impossible without the ssh-askpass package installed. ssh-askpass is suggested through rsync->ssh->openssh-client, so I wouldn't expect many to have installed it. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages grsync depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.10.3-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.5-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcairo2 1.0.2-3 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-1.1 generic font configuration library ii libglib2.0-0 2.8.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.13-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.10.4-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libx11-6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System protocol client li ii libxcursor1 1.1.3-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxi6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Input extension li ii libxinerama1 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System multi-head display ii libxrandr2 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Resize, Rotate and ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0.2-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii rsync 2.6.6-1 fast remote file copy program (lik grsync recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
