[Bug 1577643] [NEW] rsync 14.04 LTS still contains long term buggy version

[A]

Public bug reported:

Full upgraded 14.04 LTS reports rsync version 3.1.0

# lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS
Release:	14.04

# rsync -V
rsync: -V: unknown option
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1572) [client=3.1.0]

rsync has had a -z compression bug for many-many years (since around
2005) and apparently 3.1.1 finally fixes this bug

3.1.1 has been released for over 1.5 years but still isn't in 14.04 LTS
