Backporting this fix will allow users to delete missing source args when some files in the list have missing parent folders without interruption. This is fixed by patching in an upstream commit that allows files with missing parent folders to be handled without aborting. [Test Plan] # lxc launch images:ubuntu/focal builder # lxc exec builder bash # apt update # apt dist-upgrade # apt install -y rsync # mkdir -p a/1 b/1; echo "/1/2/3" > list # rsync --dry-run --stats -Pav --delete-missing-args --files-from=list a b * This should crash with exit code 2 after printing the following: building file list ... 0 files... file has vanished: "/root/a/1/2" 2 files to consider ABORTING due to invalid path from sender: 1/2/3 rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at generator.c(1278) [generator=3.1.3] [Where problems could occur] Since the remove operation will now continue when files in the list have missing parent folders, other errors and warnings with different behaviors could arise instead. A warning that may arise the most often in these situations is the following: warning: some files vanished before they could be transferred (code 24) at main.c(1207) [sender=3.1.3] This appears at the end of the above test case with the new code. The behavior is expected, but it may cause regressions due to changes in the output of certain use cases. [Original Description] Running rsync --delete-missing-args --files-from=... fails with error message like ABORTING due to invalid path from sender: dir1/dir2/dir3 rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at generator.c(1271) [generator=3.1.2] if the listed directories are trying to delete full subtree of files. According to https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12569 this has been fixed in version 3.2.2. See also: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=863334 Could you update the rsync package or backport the fix?
