emerge -pv rsync output, please.
Recompiling this package with the xattr USE flag enabled fixes the bug. Please consider adding this to the set of default USE flags for this package. In case it is still needed, here is the output for emerge -pv rsync with the xattr USE flag enabled (for the original output, don't enable the xattr USE flag): These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] net-misc/rsync-3.0.0_pre6 USE="acl ipv6 xattr -static -xinetd" 0 kB Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB
Closing then; obviously not a bug. :) Thanks for reporting back.
