You can try http://xxx/rsync_2.6.9-0.sarge.2_i386.deb Hm, that leaves me with a new problem: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of rsync: rsync depends on lsb-base (= 3.0); however: Version of lsb-base on system is 2.0-7. So I guess that means that I have to install lsb from backports.org, If you save the old init.d script from 2.6.8, you can override that dependency. Or get rsync_2.6.9-0.sarge.2.1_i386.deb from the same place I mentioned before (please keep that location confidential! I can't afford a lot of bandwidth there). That has the old init.d script and the old dependencies. But since I really need the fix, I installed it on just 1 of my servers and the backup server.

Hi Paul, There's a prerelease of 2.6.9 uploaded to experimental, 2.6.9~pre3-1 It also has ACL support patched in. Thanks for the note. I am out of town for a while (actually out of continent :-) so I didn't check until just now. I found 2.6.9-2 on unstable, but I don't see any mentioning of this bug in the changelog...? Also, I tried to backport it to sarge (where I urgently need it) but didn't succeed because of many compile time errors. :-( Do you know maybe of anybody who already backported it?

I can confirm that the bug is solved with the patch earlier http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2005-April/012338.html I updated the Sarge package - rsync version 2.6.4-6 with it and testrunned it using the --delete option, which works as expected.
