Description Systems Administrator 2006-05-31 17:56:33 UTC 
Description of problem:

getting errors between an rsync of two RHAT 7.3 boxes running the legacy package:

rsync -zar --force -e ssh --exclude='somedir/' --exclude'someotherdir/' /path/to/dir/* 
maustin@remotehost:~/somedir/

produces

deflate on token returned 0 (16384 bytes left)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at token.c(288)

I found two threads with the errors mentioned
http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2002-February/001391.html
http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2003-April/005810.html


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

rsync-2.5.7-2.legacy.7x

How reproducible:

always

Additional Info:

Removing the -z from the command line seems to be a work around for the legacy package.  That 
seems to isolate it down to an error with the compression library (as mentioned in the links)

Marc Deslauriers and I had a healthy exchange via email about this about a year ago . . . I never filed a 
bug but was cleaning out some old email and saw that I said I would ;)
