Description John L. Poole 2011-01-01 09:57:47 UTC
I have a Gentoo rsync server runnning on 192.168.168.15.  I have several Gentoo machines that sync to it without any problem; I've had this server running for about 2 years.  When I try to "emerge --sync" from my laptop ("themis" an Intel i5 dual core), I get the error message below which is not descriptive.

Yet, at the same time I have another server (at 192.168.168.16) successfully syncing to #15.  Therefore, it appears something is awry with my laptop's system that causes the above error which is not indicative of the problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge --sync

Actual Results:  
When I try to "emerge --sync" from my laptop, I get:
themis jlpoole # emerge --sync
>>> Starting rsync with rsync://192.168.168.15/gentoo-portage...
>>> Checking server timestamp ...

themis jlpoole #

Expected Results:  
successful sync of portage

my /etc/make.conf has:

#SYNC=rsync8.us.gentoo.org
SYNC="rsync://192.168.168.15/gentoo-portage"

my error.  I was on a different wireless network that the server 192.168.168.15 was not on.

This is not a bug.
