[Bug 908409] Re: eog cannot delete files outside of the home partition

 

I just copied some jpg pictures to /var/tmp, opened the first with EoG
and deleted them one by one using the DEL key.

After this all files were visible in the trash from where I could
restore them.

Closing the bug report but feel free to reopen if you still see a
problem in Ubuntu 15.10 or 16.04 (development).

Title:
  eog cannot delete files outside of the home partition

Status in eog package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Distro: 10.04.3 LTS
  eog:
    Installed: 2.30.0-0ubuntu1
    Candidate: 2.30.0-0ubuntu1
    Version table:
   *** 2.30.0-0ubuntu1 0
          500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  Steps to reproduce:-

  Open image file from a partition other than the one on which ~ exists, in eog
  Delete image (e.g. via DEL key), and confirm action.

  Actual behaviour:-
  Message saying "Couldn't access Deleted Items folder"

  Expected behaviour:-
  File deleted (or moved to wastebasket)

  Please note, this is NOT A DUPLICATE.
  A similar issue was reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eog/+bug/42571
  This issue is closed as fixed.  It was re-opened, because a problem clearly still exists, but subsequently closed again with the justification that any similar problem is in fact "A DIFFERENT ONE" (as in "not a duplicate"): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eog/+bug/42571/comments/10

  To emphasise, the original bug is marked as fixed, and the maintainers
  insist that we now have a new bug which behaves in exactly the same
  way.  If you close this ticket as a duplicate, the issue will not get
  fixed.  The problem I describe above is real, and exists.

  Thank you!
