The job https://openqa.suse.de/tests/4829255 incompletes, the worker-log.txt shows:

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: Make sure rsync output and error log line end up in the same log file, not separated in two different ones
• AC2: Solve problems automatically which can be solved automatically, e.g. retry on communication problems

Suggestions¶

• the man page of rsync states for exit codes 23 and 24:

23     Partial transfer due to error
24     Partial transfer due to vanished source files

"23" sounds like worth to retry a couple of times or find out what the real error is, "24" sounds like worth to ignore (if we do not already do that) as source files could easily vanish while we sync and we should just ignore that.

Workaround¶

Retry
