Zimbra 10.1.10 - rsync broken on RHEL derivates

Post by t.suehl »

Good morning everybody,

we updated our Zimbra servers some days ago to the latest patch release 10.1.10. With it the Zimbra rsync package was updated to version 3.4.1.
I tried to move out some mailboxes today and faced the problem that the rsync process is not working anymore on RHEL / Rocky ... systems. It seems like you need to install the not default package xxhash-libs:

su - zimbra
rsync --version
rsync: error while loading shared libraries: libxxhash.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Ubuntu ships it by default - so you seem to be safe there (tested with 22.04).

I'm posting this here if somebody also falls into this pithole ...

Hi Bill,

the system rsync has no issues on Rocky9. It is about zimbras rsync binary after upgrading to 10.1.10 (on rocky9):

Code: Select all


[zimbra@server ~]$ which rsync
~/common/bin/rsync
[zimbra@server ~]$ rsync --version
rsync: error while loading shared libraries: libxxhash.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Regards
Thomas

Looks like a missing dependency, does "yum install xxhash-libs" fix it?

Not sure why Zimbra needs to ship its own rsync binary, btw...

Please install the xxhash-libs library for RHEL9 OS using below command to resolve the issue:

Code: Select all

 yum install xxhash-libs
We are looking into it for fix in upcoming release.
