Description:

With rsync-3.2.7-4, I can connect to my hosts using IPv6. With rsync-3.2.7-5, this no longer work, rsync fails with the following error:

ssh: Could not resolve hostname ::1: Address family for hostname not supported
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(231) [sender=3.2.7]

These are the capabilities reported by rsync:
