rsync prints out non-informative error messages

[Fernando Miguel]

Binary package hint: rsync

This is what a user obtains if facing a timeout using rsync:

> $ rsync rsync://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/releases/hardy/alpha-6/hardy-desktop-i386.iso
> .
> rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(454) [receiver=2.6.9]

It should print out a much clear message so the user knows what's going on.

ps. saw this on package source. it has the bug mail as:
Bugs: mailto:<email address hidden>
is this correct?

[Simon Déziel (sdeziel)]

The error message is now clearer (IMHO of course):

$ rsync rsync://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/releases/hardy/alpha-6/hardy-desktop-i386.iso
rsync: change_dir "/releases/hardy/alpha-6" (in cdimage) failed: No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1677) [Receiver=3.1.3]

It now explicitly mentions being unable to change directory to "/releases/hardy/alpha-6" which is a good hint about the problem IMHO. As such, marking as fix released.
