Package: rsync Version: 2.6.4-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Rsync fails to push filters to the the remote host if the remote rsync is older than the Debian's. I've tried to connect to a remote host with the following rsync: rsync version 2.5.6 protocol version 26 Copyright (C) 1996-2002 by Andrew Tridgell and others <http://rsync.samba.org/> Capabilities: 64-bit files, socketpairs, hard links, symlinks, batchfiles, IPv6, 64-bit system inums, 64-bit internal inums (that was a Fedora Core 1 box) Here is the command I've tried to execute on my Debian system: rsync -Cavvv ~/ports-utils bfc1: (bfc1 is the remote Fedora Core 1 host with rsync 2.5.6) Here is the output from rsync on Debian: opening connection using /home/feldgendler/bin/ssh bfc1 rsync --server -vvvlogDtprC .

I've also tried the same with another remote Fedora Core 1 host which had: rsync version 2.6.2 protocol version 28 Copyright (C) 1996-2004 by Andrew Tridgell and others <http://rsync.samba.org/> Capabilities: 64-bit files, socketpairs, hard links, symlinks, batchfiles, IPv6, 64-bit system inums, 64-bit internal inums ....and got a similar error message. Only installing rsync 2.6.4 (I actually copied the binary from Debian to Fedora Core 1) resolved the problem. So, rsync 2.6.4 only works with rsync 2.6.4, and this renders the package almost unusable because most remote osts run different (older) versions of rsync.
