[Csync2] -f not working as documented?

[Andreas J. Koenig]

Hi,

as a first time user of csync2 I'm quite unsure if I did everything
right, but the following behaviour seems like a bug to me, forgive me
if I'm wrong and please set me straight.

My first call to 'csync2 -x' replicated about 800 files correctly to
the rest of the cluster. It finished with 6 errors that were indeed
conflicts. I tried to resolve the conflict with -f and expected from
the next run of 'csync2 -x' to not report errors anymore as
illustrated in the paper.pdf file chapter 5.2. But the conflict
remained unchanged. What gives?

I'm using 1.2.25.

Please let me know what I can provide for further evidence.
