Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rsync
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04
$ apt-cache policy rsync
rsync:
Installed: 2.6.9-6ubuntu2
Candidate: 2.6.9-6ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 2.6.9-6ubuntu2 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
What I did:
$ mkdir src
$ mkdir dst
$ touch src/foo
*$ rsync -rn src/ dst
$ rsync -r src/ dst
$ ls src dst
dst:
foo
src:
foo
What I expected: that the command marked * would report that foo would be
copied.
What happened: nothing. But foo is copied when the -n switch is removed.
** Affects: rsync (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New

-n option does not report what would have been transferred
