Please describe the problem: Forwarding bugreport filed by Géraud Meyer <geraud_meyer@hotmail.com> in the debian bug tracking system at: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=474616 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Package: nautilus Version: 2.22.1-1 Severity: normal With nautilus trash a file whose name begins by an underscore and that will not go in the home trash folder (but in <mountpoint>/.Trash-<UID>/). Trying to delete it from the trash with nautilus won't succeed showing those messages: 1) Are you sure you want to permanently delete "<absolute>_<path>_.Trash-<UID>__<_filename>" from the trash? 2) Error while deleting. There was an error getting information about "<absolute>_<path>_.Trash-<UID>__<_filename>". Error stating file '/<absolute>/<path>/.Trash-<UID>_/files/<filename(without leading underscore)>': No such file or directory ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Steps to reproduce: 1. Create the file "_test" on a filesystem that's not the same as the one your $HOME is on. 2. Move _test to Trash. 3. Try to empty trash -> File not found (wrong path - underscore is at wrong position). Actual results: Not able to delete _test from Trash. The underscore ends up in the wrong place in the path. Expected results: Trash becoming empty. Does this happen every time? yes Other information:
