Package: rsync
Version: 2.6.4-2
Severity: important

I've used two identical Sarge systems, both using UTF-8.

Using rsync (over ssh), syncing (or listing the contents) from one
system to the other, non-ASCII characters get replaced with '??', eg:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ rsync system2:~/test_ÃÃÃ_test
  drwxr-xr-x          72 2005/05/02 02:39:30 test_??????_test

The result above is new since version 2.6.4-2 and makes logs from
backup-scripts (using rsync) almost unreadable when lots of files and
directories with, in my case swedish, non-ASCII character are being processed.

When the backup-script also relies on the resulting log for further
processing, this bug completly breaks it as corresponding directories/files
doesn't exist on the filesystem.
