Package: rsync
Version: 2.6.4-6
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
when trying to copy files to destinations that contain colons
(on an rsync server), rsync misparses the url commandline.
this fails:
$ rsync /tmp/somefile rsync://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/module/a:10:b
rsync: getaddrinfo: otherbox/module/a 10: Name or service not known
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(99)
the problem is in options.c, lines 1528++: after cutting off the
url prefix and finding out where the path begins (first /),
the search for colons is not limited to the hostname component but
instead runs over the total string.
the simplest fix is to check if the colon was found within the
host part of the string.

note also that this invocation can be used as workaround:
