Package: rsync
Version: 3.2.3-8
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
When transferring files from a machine with rsync-3.2.3-4 to a machine with
rsync-3.2.3-8, several transfers fail with:
ERROR: $filename failed verification -- update discarded.
In a transfer of a large directory, approximately 20% of files failed to copy.
Which files succeed and which files fail seems to be reproducible between runs,
so I do not suspect hardware issues. I ran the command on the machine with -4,
and it failed whether sending or receiving. Below is the --debug=all output
for a failed (receiving) run of a single small file:
(Client) Protocol versions: remote=31, negotiated=31

rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors)
(code 23) at main.c(1816) [generator=3.2.3]
[generator] _exit_cleanup(code=23, file=main.c, line=1816): about to call
exit(23)
The file in question is available at:

The problem went away when both sides were upgraded to rsync-3.2.3-8, so perhaps
some protocol incompatibility was introduced between these versions without
changing the protocol version number.
