Package: rsync Version: 3.0.7-2 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
Upgrading to Testing broke my backup scripts (using Duplicity), unrelated software so I'm filing this as critical. The problem resolved down to rsync 3.0.3-2 accepting the following: rsync rsync://<server>::<module> and 3.0.7-2 does not. Specifically: z...@moebius:/opt/zed> rsync rsync://zp::duplicity backup duplicity dup_moebius z...@moebius:/opt/zed> sudo apt-get -t testing install rsync [...] Preparing to replace rsync 3.0.3-2 (using .../rsync_3.0.7-2_amd64.deb) Unpacking replacement rsync ... Processing triggers for man-db ... Setting up rsync (3.0.7-2) ... [...] z...@moebius:/opt/zed> rsync rsync://zp::duplicity ssh: Could not resolve hostname rsync: Name or service not known rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [Receiver] rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(601) [Receiver=3.0.7] The rsync server is running 3.0.2. I *think* this is just a nasty upstream bug, as I can't find any documentation on this change being deliberate and I can't think of any reason to stop parsing URIs. If it's deliberate, there needs to be a major warning on it, or it should be flagged as breaking Duplicity so people know that they need to either not upgrade or migrate to chrooted SFTP with passwordless keys. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.7 APT prefers stable APT policy: (350, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-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 rsync depends on: ii base-files 5lenny8 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii libacl1 2.2.47-2 Access control list shared library ii libc6 2.7-18lenny6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpopt0 1.16-1 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip rsync recommends no packages.
