Description nefercheprure 2007-03-21 10:26:04 UTC
sys-apps/portage-2.1.2.2 misses a dependency on a sufficiently recent net-misc/rsync.

Proposed solution: update sys-apps/portage-2.1.2.2 dependency

Proposed workaround: emerge -av rsync

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge --sync
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
~ # emerge --sync
>>> Starting rsync with rsync://140.105.134.102/gentoo-portage...
>>> Checking server timestamp ...
rsync: --filter=H_**/files/digest-*: unknown option
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1013)

!!! Rsync has reported that there is a syntax error. Please ensure
!!! that your SYNC statement is proper.
!!! SYNC=rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage



Expected Results:  
emerge --sync shall proceed normally.

~ # emerge -pv rsync

You know, having a version that's been removed from the tree 14 months ago installed and complaining about wrong dependencies is just funny. Why don't you upgrade your system properly, using emerge -uD world?
Comment 2 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2007-03-21 15:34:37 UTC
Somebody reported this on irc last week and I added RDEPEND=">=net-misc/rsync-2.6.4".  It will upgrade automatically with portage now.
