Subject: rsync: "ABORTING due to invalid path from sender" after upgrade from jessie to stretch

Date: Thu, 25 May 2017 16:44:46 +0200

Package: rsync
Version: 3.1.2-1
Severity: important

Hello,
we had two jessie servers, main server and backup.
Backup was upgraded to stretch.

We use this script to transfer changed/deleted files:
#rsync -avH --inplace --delete-missing-args --files-from=/tmp/transferfile /path/to/data/ archiver@1ip:/path/to/data/

The file /tmp/transferfile 
is generated by app, every change or deletion of file generates new line.
App also deletes empty dirs (if deleting a file produces empty dir)

After ugrade to stretch rsync there is a problem:
- ------
rsync: [sender] write error: Broken pipe (32)
ABORTING due to invalid path from sender: path/inside/data/dir/file.txt
rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at generator.c(1271) [generator=3.1.2]
- ------
(because path/inside/data/dir was deleted by app on sender side)

Reverting to jessie version=3.1.1-3 of rsync fixes problem.

It was probably reported here (with patch):
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12569

Can you please patch it for stretch?


Thanks,
Libor
