Debian version 12.2 AMD xfce,
SHA256 7e3d33bbf035567c744012e00f9bc377a49f16ce8aab2e0bbf7b71a632ea9336
The live version after installed does not have the command rsync installed but it is present in the live version before installation, thereby misleading users. I brought it to the attention of the Debian forum in version 12.1 they say they corrected but it Rsync still does not exist ? The Debian forum closed this query.
I understand it can be installed manually. The reason it should be installed is the package manager URL I provided above shows it should be installed but is not.
Yes, you can install rsync on any system, and you can do it exactly the same way using a live install. But a live install will not automatically install all the available packages, that would not really work.
As of version 12.2 Debian live XFCE sha256:7e3d33bbf035567c744012e00f9bc377a49f16ce8aab2e0bbf7b71a632ea9336 still does not include rsync in the installed version of the live version despite the debian-live-12.2.0-amd64-xfce.iso.packages list showing rsync 3.2.7-1 being available.
It looks like Debian is not going to do anything about this missing installation file even though they initially acknowledge it missing.
For debian-live-12.2.0-amd64-xfce.iso, sha256:7e3d33bbf035567c744012e00f9bc377a49f16ce8aab2e0bbf7b71a632ea9336 is missing rsync on installtion of the live version and this was reported on debian-live-12.-amd64-xfce.iso. this is confirmed by the debian-live-12.2.0-amd64-xfce.iso.packages.
