[Bug 201344] Re: rsync prints out non-informative error messages

[Simon Déziel]

The error message is now clearer (IMHO of course):

$ rsync rsync://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/releases/hardy/alpha-6/hardy-desktop-i386.iso
rsync: change_dir "/releases/hardy/alpha-6" (in cdimage) failed: No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1677) [Receiver=3.1.3]

It now explicitly mentions being unable to change directory to
"/releases/hardy/alpha-6" which is a good hint about the problem IMHO.
As such, marking as fix released.

** Changed in: rsync (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released

Title:
  rsync prints out non-informative error messages

Status in rsync package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: rsync

  This is what a user obtains if facing a timeout using rsync:

  > $ rsync rsync://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/releases/hardy/alpha-6/hardy-desktop-i386.iso
  > .
  > rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(454) [receiver=2.6.9]

  It should print out a much clear message so the user knows what's
  going on.

  
  ps. saw this on package source. it has the bug mail as:
  Bugs: mailto:ubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com
  is this correct?
