### Please describe the problem. After upgrading Debian Buster to Bullseye (and thus git-annex to 8.20210223-2), two sync `git annex sync --content` jobs have started failing. One is to an encrypted remote: sending incremental file list 54c/e47/ 54c/e47/GPGHMACSHA1--REDACTED/ 54c/e47/GPGHMACSHA1--REDACTED/GPGHMACSHA1--REDACTED 32,768 8% 0.00kB/s 0:00:00 375,589 100% 326.94MB/s 0:00:00 (xfr#1, to-chk=0/5) failed content changed while it was being sent content changed while it was being sent git-annex: sync: 1 failed The content hasn't changed as far as I know. Another is to another local filesystem (from ext4 to ext4): ``` failed to send content to remote failed to send content to remote failed to send content to remote To /path/to/remote XXXXXXXXX..XXXXXXXXX git-annex -> synced/git-annex XXXXXXXXX..XXXXXXXXX master -> synced/master git-annex: sync: 884 failed ``` In the latter case, `--debug` prints two ExitFailures: ``` [2021-09-04 13:21:26.943294346] process [2934668] read: cp ["--reflink=always","--preserve=timestamps",".git/annex/objects/gM/mZ/SHA256E-REDACTED.pdf/SHA256E-REDACTED.pdf","/path/to/remote/.git/annex/tmp/SHA256E-REDACTED.pdf"] [2021-09-04 13:21:26.944187444] process [2934668] done ExitFailure 1 2021-09-04 13:21:52.79239764] process [2936730] read: git ["--git-dir=.git","--work-tree=.","--literal-pathspecs","push","remote","master"] [2021-09-04 13:21:52.808201959] process [2936730] done ExitFailure 1 ``` Manually running that cp command fails with "Permission denied", because the tmp file now exists and has 444 permissions. ### What steps will reproduce the problem? I haven't tried to reproduce this from a clean repository, but it happens 100 % of the time. ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? git-annex 8.20210223-2 on Debian 11/Bullseye. ### Please provide any additional information below. ### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders) These sync worked fine before upgrade. > [[fixed|done]] in git-annex 8.20210803 --[[Joey]]
