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

[Andrew]

Excluding all compression options was not an acceptable solution for me.

What has worked since I initially found this problem back in August was
to install rsync from the utopic repository where the bug was fixed.
That same version (3.1.1-3) is still available in vivid and wily
unchanged as far as I can tell.

Example:

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/r/rsync/rsync_3.1.1-3_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i rsync_3.1.1-3_amd64.deb

Or for x86:

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/r/rsync/rsync_3.1.1-3_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i rsync_3.1.1-3_i386.deb

Problem solved.
