This was fixed upstream within a day of it getting reported. The fix should have made it into Ubuntu by now.

This affects only 11.10 Oneiric. It works fine in Maverick, and presumably in Natty since they both use the same (or close) versions. This was fixed upstream back in May. Please release an updated rsync for Oneiric, as this is a pretty bad regression. https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8183 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/rsync/+bug/898436/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
