[solved] rsync-3.1.3-16.el8 : new serious bug

Post by rubictus » 2022/08/11 15:40:46

Hi !
On my Centos 8 stream, I've done a 'dnf distro-sync' Sat 06 Aug 2022 10:50:04 AM CEST.
rsync.x86_64 has been updated. Since, I've had issues doing rsync with debian 11.4 and recent (git) openwrt:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/rsync -avPH root@debian:/var/ .
rsync: on remote machine: --sparse-block=1024: unknown option
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1749) [server=3.2.3]
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [Receiver]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(226) [Receiver=3.1.3]

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/rsync -avPH root@openwrt:/var/ .
rsync: on remote machine: --sparse-block=1024: unknown option
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1765) [server=3.2.4]
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [Receiver]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(226) [Receiver=3.1.3]

Code: Select all

yum info rsync.x86_64

Installed Packages

Size         : 820 k

Of course, rsync worked before the update.

The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke
