GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 413268
Empty folder not deletable if it _contained_ not empty subfolders
Last modified: 2013-09-13 00:51:11 UTC
Please describe the problem: See summary and the whole rest of this bugreport. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a first-level folder and a subfolder. Put some mail into this subfolder (I imported it). 2. - Move the subfolder out of the first-level folder - Or/And delete all messages from the subfolder, empty trash, expunge then delete the empty subfolder - Or/And simply delete the subfolder 3. Try to delete the (now empty) first-level folder Actual results: "Cannot delete folder "test". Because "Could not delete folder `test': Directory not empty"." Expected results: First-level folder gets deleted. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information:
According to the conversation on IRC, there are some *.ev-summary files left behind in that sub-folder. The folder can be deleted properly after *manually* deleting these stale files. Priotity Urgent, Severity BLOCKER, Target 2.9. This is a *regression*, and I expect a *lot* of users getting stuck here, if this goes live!
Exact version is 2.9.92
confirming here on 2.9.91.
Working on it.. will be done for HC Freeze.
Fix committed to head - meta summary file was not getting cleaned up.
the fix should be this commit: http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/evolution-data-server/branches/gnome-2-18/camel/providers/imap/camel-imap-store.c?r1=7628&r2=7643 http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/evolution-data-server/branches/gnome-2-18/camel/providers/local/camel-local-store.c?r1=7368&r2=7642 http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/evolution-data-server/branches/gnome-2-18/camel/providers/local/camel-mbox-store.c?r1=6903&r2=7642
wondering if this is really fixed, see bug 350913
