[Fwd: Re: Rsyncrypto errors during restore.]

[Edwin S. <po...@Ed...>]

Dear rsy...@li...,

I did compile rsyncrypto myself and found the following in the config.log=
:
configure:3954: checking for gzip with "rsyncable" support
configure:3958: result: yes
configure:4086: creating ./config.status

Encrypting looks fine, it also compresses as yo can see in the attached
quartret.tgz README file. Hope you can find anything in the files to get =
a
lead of the problem.

Regards,
Edwin.

Actually, this might actually be the problem. Debian's gzip supports a
flag called "rsyncable". rsyncrypto relies heavily on this feature. If
you want to use rsyncrypto on a system that does not provide this flag,
you will need to supply the proper gzip yourself.

During compilation of rsyncrypto (I'm assuming you compiled it youself),
did configure complain that gzip did not have "rsyncable"? Hmm, looking
throught the internet seems to suggest that Fedora DOES carry an
"Rsyncable" supporting gzip. Can you please forward me an encryption
quartret (plain, encrypted, key and public key) of a file that shows
"Error in encrypted stream (trailer)" while decrypting
(say,aes_crypt.h)? It would be very helpful to me.

Thanks,
          Shachar
