Describe the Bug

Hello,
When following instructions from http://apt.puppetlabs.com/README.txt and running rsync -a rsync://rsync.puppet.com/packages/apt /var/apt, there are errors. This started happening on 2024-06-11:

rsync: opendir "/apt/work.520523.m2zydoT5pI" (in packages) failed: Permission denied (13)
rsync: opendir "/apt/work.520524.CcTiRqJJjT" (in packages) failed: Permission denied (13)
rsync: opendir "/apt/work.520528.8n56JVSKON" (in packages) failed: Permission denied (13)

Expected Behavior

The sync should succeed without errors, like it did on 2024-06-10 and before.

Steps to Reproduce

Run rsync -a rsync://rsync.puppet.com/packages/apt /var/apt

Environment

Not relevant

Additional Context

The folders have the following permissions:

drwx--S---          4,096 2024/06/11 06:35:19 work.520523.m2zydoT5pI
drwx--S---          4,096 2024/06/11 06:36:25 work.520524.CcTiRqJJjT
drwx--S---          4,096 2024/06/11 06:35:19 work.520528.8n56JVSKON

Can confirm I'm seeing the same failure if I'm using the option --dry-run:

rsync --dry-run -a rsync://rsync.puppet.com/packages/apt /var/apt
rsync: opendir "/apt/work.520523.m2zydoT5pI" (in packages) failed: Permission denied (13)
rsync: opendir "/apt/work.520524.CcTiRqJJjT" (in packages) failed: Permission denied (13)
rsync: opendir "/apt/work.520528.8n56JVSKON" (in packages) failed: Permission denied (13)
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1865) [generator=3.2.7]
