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

 

Public bug reported:

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!
