Hello, I am running rsync on a CentOS 7 with latests version and the upgrade …from `rsync-3.1.2-10.el7.x86_64` to `rsync-3.1.2-11.el7_9.x86_64`. and I have a regression wit the error: ``` ERROR: rejecting excluded file-list name: / ``` Here are the details. I have a `/mnt/test` file with the content: ``` # cat /mnt/test etc/hosts ``` Before the upgrade: ``` # rpm -qa | grep rsync rsync-3.1.2-10.el7.x86_64 # rsync -a --relative -v --include-from=/mnt/test --exclude=* / /tmp/test/ sending incremental file list sent 41 bytes received 12 bytes 106.00 bytes/sec total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 ``` After the upgrade to `rsync-3.1.2-11.el7_9.x86_64`: ``` # yum install -y -q rsync Delta RPMs disabled because /usr/bin/applydeltarpm not installed. # rpm -qa | grep rsync rsync-3.1.2-11.el7_9.x86_64 # rsync -a --relative -v --include-from=/mnt/test --exclude=* / /tmp/test/ sending incremental file list ERROR: rejecting excluded file-list name: /. rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at flist.c(907) [Receiver=3.1.2] ``` I also have the same error with version 3.2.6: ``` # /usr/local/bin/rsync --version rsync version 3.2.6 protocol version 31 Copyright (C) 1996-2022 by Andrew Tridgell, Wayne Davison, and others.
