Unable to use ABS due to rsync failure

andrej.podzimek · 2008-07-04 16:20:22

Hello, there have been about two similar topics already, but this one is different. ABS worked fine for me untill about three days ago. Then something happened to rsync. It is surprising that nobody has reported this issue so far. There might be a problem on my machine... However, I am still using the same system, the same settings and the same Internet connection.

SYNCSERVER="rsync.archlinux.org"

When I try to get the ABS tree, this is what happens:

==> Starting ABS sync...
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(635) [receiver=3.0.2]

i had this problem before, changing my ip solved the issue (i did rsync with 3 machines in local network)
i hope it solves yours too.

Unfortunately, changing the (private) IP address of my machine does not help at all. (The public one cannot be changed, of course.)

Same trouble

Well, this trouble lasts for more than a week already... Another ArchLinux machine does ABS sync just fine. It is obvious that my IP address is blocked. For what reason? AFAIK, I haven't done anything bad to the rsync server.

Post a bug report. If there is already a bug report, vote on it and/or add a comment.

I have the same problem.

It could just be that the server has no free connections for rsync. A connection limit was set at one point on the server, so that the server wouldn't be completely flooded by ABS rsync traffic. Mirror rsync's were also prioritized over ABS rsync's.

It could just be that the server was super busy when you tried to rsync.
If it works an hour later, or works sporadically for you, then that is likely the case. Open a bug report in the bugtracker and reference this thread maybe.

Have the same issue:

==> Starting ABS sync...
@ERROR: max connections (50) reached -- try again later
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1504) [receiver=3.0.3]

Why are mirrors unable to keep ABS? If one is unable to reach it at all, seems a mirror would be a decent alternative. Anyone working on this? What are the limitations to supporting an ABS mirror?

same

@ERROR: max connections (50) reached -- try again later
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1504) [receiver=3.0.3]

I'm getting it too.

I got that same error yesterday, but I was able to update abs successfully just now.

dsr · 2008-09-03 02:38:27

Same, it's working now. /me shrugs

I just got my abs tree to build by updating my pacman.conf file to the most recent updated pacman.conf.pacnew. (from a few days ago)

The only difference was that it didn't have the old unstable repository in it, and this new line that was added: #XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl %u > %o

..... or maybe it just fixed it's self on it's own?
