Bug#1050171: whois: problem with JPNIC person object beginning with "AS"

[furio]

Package: whois
Version: 5.5.17
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have found a difficulty in obtaining a correct output from JPNIC about a
person object starting with "AS":

$  whois -h whois.nic.ad.jp AS4601JP/e

[...]

(this object is the admin/tech contact for AS37898)

jwhois can find the object:

$ jwhois  -h whois.nic.ad.jp AS4601JP/e

This is of course the expected outcome, in place of the JPNIC Whois Help text.

Thanks for the attention.

Bug#961929: rsync: syntax for multiple files from remote host seems not working when files are in different modules

[furio ercolessi]

Thank you very much for the explanation.  Taken note, I will work around this 
limitation.

It may be worth a small note in the documentation.

Something like "all files must be in the same module" or "a connection can 
access only one module" in the "Advanced Usage" section of rsync(1).

Bug#961929: rsync: syntax for multiple files from remote host seems not working when files are in different modules

[furio]

Package: rsync
Version: 3.1.3-6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I am trying to rsync individually named multiple files using the rsync daemon.

In the ADVANCED USAGE section, the manual page says

The syntax for requesting multiple files from a remote host is done by
specifying additional remote-host  args in the same style as the first,
or with the hostname omitted.  For instance, all these work:

rsync -av host:file1 :file2 host:file{3,4} /dest/
rsync -av host::modname/file{1,2} host::modname/file3 /dest/
rsync -av host::modname/file1 ::modname/file{3,4}

Older versions of rsync required using quoted spaces in the SRC, like 
these examples:

rsync -av host:’dir1/file1 dir2/file2’ /dest
rsync host::’modname/dir1/file1 modname/dir2/file2’ /dest

I created a test file tree using

mkdir /home/rsync-test
mkdir /home/rsync-test/conf
mkdir /home/rsync-test/files
mkdir /home/rsync-test/files/a
mkdir /home/rsync-test/files/b
echo "file x" > /home/rsync-test/files/a/x
echo "file y" > /home/rsync-test/files/b/y
echo "file z" > /home/rsync-test/files/b/z

and then run 

/usr/bin/rsync --daemon --config=/home/rsync-test/conf/rsyncd.conf 
--address=127.0.0.1

using this rsyncd.conf:

--
use chroot = yes
[a]
comment = a folder
path = /home/rsync-test/files/a
[b]
comment = b folder
path = /home/rsync-test/files/b
--

The command

rsync 127.0.0.1::b/y ::b/z .

runs as expected, synchronizing files y and z with no errors. However, a 
problem appears when the files are located in different modules:

rsync 127.0.0.1::b/y ::a/x .

fails with

rsync: change_dir "/a" (in b) failed: No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous 
errors) (code 23) at main.c(1677) [generator=3.1.3]

y has been synchronized, but x was not.  The situation remains the same when 
the host is explicitly added to the second argument. Similarly, adding the 
quotes (old style syntax) does not help. 

Possibly I am misunderstanding something; this behaviour baffles me.

Thanks for the attention

Furio
