Package: rsync Version: 2.6.3-2 Severity: normal I have a shell script (checkiso) that relies on downloading a partial file. The script used to work at least until the end of April (I upgrade regularly from testing). Since then I have not used it until today, when I discovered that rsync is broken. To reproduce:
$ ulimit -S -f 3300 $ rsync --quiet --partial ftp.es.debian.org::debian-cd/3.0_r4/alpha/debian-30r4-alpha-binary-1.iso . rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (53 bytes received so far) [generator] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(359) rsync dumps core and leaves an incomplete downloaded file whose name begins with a dot. Since the --partial option is used, it should rename it to the target file, and obviously should not dump core and print an error. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27-rc3-pr-hrt-1 Locale: LANG=C, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Versions of packages rsync depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
