Bug Description

As seen with rdiff-backup (which uses librsync) on dapper:

starting backup /usr/local/sbin/backup-by-rdiff at Fri Feb 20 03:00:01 GMT 2009
python: ERROR: (rs_job_iter) internal error: job made no progress [orig_in=1, orig_out=65536, final_in=1, final_out=65536]
UpdateError var/lib/mysql/pmacct/acct_v6.MYD librsync error 107 while in patch cycle

This causes the update of the specified file to fail. This is a well-known bug in librsync. See Debian bug #355178. Debian has released a fixed package. I think they used the patch which was attached on Sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1439412&group_id=56125&atid=479441) and applied to librsync cvs.

Please patch librsync on dapper to match Debian's.
