Basically I'd like to set up rsync to keep a folder in sync with a folder on a server. Easier said than done, at least for this noob...

I tried to install rsync compiled for Harmattan from here.

However I got the following error:

Code:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of rsync:
 rsync depends on base-files (>= 4.0.1); however:
  Version of base-files on system is 3.1.osso2+3.1.10.osso45+0m6.
I read here that this error shouldn't occur, and someone claimed to have force-installed it successfully. So I did that:

Code:
dpkg -i --force-all rsync_3.0.3-2_armel.deb
and it installed with some warnings about missing dependencies.

However after setting up some config files as detailed here I tried running rsync and got the following error:

Code:
/etc # /etc/init.d/rsync start
Starting rsync daemon: rsyncrsync daemon failed to start ... failed!
 failed!
I guess those dependencies matter after all? Now I'm stuck....
