rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (587704 bytes received so far) [sender]I ran into a remarkably similar problem this weekend while doing an "emerge --sync" which was rather annoying.
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(359)
I tried increasing the rsync timeout (as I'd seen suggested elsewhere) but this had no effect.
I stumbled upon a quick-fix to get my "emerge --sync" to complete... I noticed it got about as far on each attempt before generating that error - so I deleted a chunk of my local tree around where the error was being reported... and on the next attempt everything ran smoothly. To me it seemed that this was an issue of a timeout or something like that when the local and remote files were very similar and access to the local filesystem is relatively slow (My meagre gentoo server also has pitifully little RAM and relies heavily on swap.)
I realise this is merely anecdotal - but at least you know you're not alone.
