[Bug 1369632] [NEW] After disconnecting and reconnecting device to MTP host it is not possible to delete a folder using MTP

 

Public bug reported:

ENVIRONMENT:
Device: ubuntu-rtm/14.09-proposed build 40
Desktop: Windows 8.1 / Ubuntu

SUMMARY:
After disconnecting and reconnecting device to MTP host it is not possible to delete a folder using MTP

STEPS:
1) Connect Ubuntu device to host PC over USB
2) Copy some music content to the music folder on MTP device including some folder structure
3) Eject the Ubuntu device's USB connection
4) Re-insert Ubuntu device USB
5) Browse to MTP Music folder on device
6) Try to delete some of the music folders that were just added

EXPECTED RESULT:

The content should be deleted successfully.

ACTUAL RESULT:

After a delay of about 30 seconds Ubuntu presents error:
"libmtp error: could not delete object".
It is then not possible to copy any content to or from the device.

Windows also fails to delete the content with error stating that device
has been disconnected.

Note that it is possible to delete files when the device is re-
connected. It is when deleting a parent folder that the problem occurs.
