All autopkgtests for the newly accepted rsync (3.1.3-8ubuntu0.1) for focal have finished running. The following regressions have been reported in tests triggered by the package:
dgit/9.10 (arm64, armhf) Please visit the excuses page listed below and investigate the failures, proceeding afterwards as per the StableReleaseUpdates policy regarding autopkgtest regressions [1]. https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed- migration/focal/update_excuses.html#rsync [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Autopkgtest_Regressions Thank you! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to rsync in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1896251 Title: rsync --delete-missing-args fails with "error: protocol incompatibility" Status in rsync package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in rsync source package in Xenial: Won't Fix Status in rsync source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in rsync source package in Focal: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] Rsync crashes when using --delete-missing-args on a file with a missing parent folder. 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.
