Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

This is interesting and I appreciate your investigation! I wonder though
if there's a third outcome here - that it's not a bug because the glibc
implementation of lchmod() requires /proc to be mounted, and if you
don't have /proc mounted then by that definition you have a broken
system and lchmod() is not expected to work, so rsync won't work, as a
design decision of upstream glibc.

I'm not claiming that this is the case, just that it's another case to
consider.

** Changed in: rsync (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Triaged

** Summary changed:

- rsync uses lchmod and fails in Ubuntu >= 20.10
+ rsync uses lchmod and fails in Ubuntu >= 20.10 if /proc isn't mounted
