Bug#810212: segfaults when using as unison-2.40 to sync with a jessie system
Package: unison
Version: 2.48.3-1
Severity: important
Hello,
thank you for maintaining unison.
It seems unison is not able to sync to a jessie system anymore:
$ unison irclogs
Contacting server...
Fatal error: Received unexpected header from the server:
expected "Unison 2.48\n" but received "Unison 2.40\n\000\000\000\000\017",
which differs at "Unison 2.40".
This can happen because you have different versions of Unison
installed on the client and server machines, or because
your connection is failing and somebody is printing an error
message, or because your remote login shell is printing
something itself before starting Unison.
$ # <flow hits a speed bump> <curses>
$ unison-2.40 irclogs
(�qhrSegmentation fault
$ # <cries>
I don't quite know what to do at this point; also, there seems to be no
2.48 backport for jessie.
