I don't know any details, but from a quick grep through the Debian changelog in Sid I get the impression that there might be an additional ACL patch that you have to apply if you compile yourself. Here are the parts that mention ACL patches: ----------- rsync (2.6.9-2) unstable; urgency=low * Applied patch from upstream to fix problem with --acl together with --delete (see http://lists.samba.org/archiv:ee/rsync/2006-November/016706.html) [...] rsync (2.6.9-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release. [...] * Now includes the ACL patch. [...] rsync (2.6.9~pre3-1) experimental; urgency=low [...] * Applied ACL patch. Please test :-) ----------- I hope this helps. (You did not mention if you built from the Debian or from the upstream sources. I would expect that the newest Debian sources have the second patch applied already.) -- Regards, Florian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
