It happens very often. rsync deletes some files, on the next rsync
(immediately folloeing the first) it downloads these files (that have
been deleted) again; if I rsynv againg it *again* deletes these files
... The problem is I am never sure what is the correct state.
As example (two consecutive syncs):
[root@cooker root]# rsync -aPv --delete
rsync://ftp.sunet.se:873/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/ /cooker/i586/
receiving file list ... done
deleting
Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/share/locale/KOI8-U/LC_MESSAGES/SYS_LC_MESSAGES
deleting
Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/share/locale/KOI8-R/LC_MESSAGES/SYS_LC_MESSAGES
Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/share/locale/KOI8-R/LC_MESSAGES/
