That makes no sense at all. -vvii only modifies output. -a includes -r but it
specifically does NOT include -A. Here is the line from the man page:
-a, --archive archive mode; equals -rlptgoD (no -H,-A,-X)

Because you are using --debug wrong (see the next block)
> akso I tried the following:
> rsync -ravAvvii --debug /usr/lib/* delme
> Unknown --debug item: "/usr/lib/abrt-java-connector"
> rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at options.c(450) [client=3.1.1]
Again, this is not how you use --debug. The --debug option takes a second
parameter and it is interpreting the first filename as that parameter. Frankly
I am not sure why "--debug 2015" wasn't also causing this syntax error.
When you run:
rsync -rav 2015 delete_me/
The 2015 parameter is what kind of debugging you want not a source parameter.
All rsync is going to do is list the delete_me directory.
