Package: rsync
Version: 2.6.9-2
Severity: normal
Since the upgrade to etch, rsync writes the log file entries very late,
sometimes hours later than its time stamp suggest. It looks like that
somewhere a call to fsync() has been forgotten. An example from a
logcheck mail:

As can be seen from the time when the mail has been send, the log has
not been written until the whole transfere finishes. This has not been
like this before.
I'd appreciate it, if this could be fixed.
Thanks in advance
