[Bug 1384503] Re: rsync fails on large files with compression

[Ryan Harper]

I've attempted to reproduce this issue but I've not been able to at this
point with stock 14.04 rsync versions between two 14.04 (up-to-date)
systems.  It may be highly dependent on the actual data; if you can
reproduce this with something publicly available (like a large iso
catted together multiple times or something else that I can create bit-
for-bit); that'd help me narrowing down the fix.

Could someone who can reproduce this issue please run  apport-collect
1384503 so I can get more information from the systems where you can
reproduce?

W.r.t 3.1.1, we cannot backport the newer package into Trusty, see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for the policy and
rationale.

However, I will take a look at the changes in 3.1.1 to enable the new-
style compression as well as the logic to detect when there is a
mismatch;  If that patchset is small and sane, we may be able to SRU
just that change to fix this issue in Trusty.
