Package: unison Version: 2.27.57-1+b1 Severity: normal
When unison transfers files, it makes temporary file names on the target machine by prepending and appending parts to the original file name, like "file.txt" will result in something like ".unison.file.txt.4d7dd755ddb26c385775b5386e648a77.unison.tmp" (over 50 additional characters). If the original file name is something like 200 bytes long (which isn't that hard when file name includes some multibyte characters that take two bytes/character), on most unix file systems unison will fail the synchronization with message: Failed <filename>: Error in querying file information: File name too long [lstat(<filename>)] -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (800, 'testing'), (100, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages unison depends on: ii libc6 2.7-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries Versions of packages unison recommends: ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:5.1p1-3 secure shell client, an rlogin/rsh unison suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
