Public bug reported:

I'm on Ubuntu 16.10 64-bit with libglib2.0-0 version 2.50.0-1.

I've reported this bug (or marked as "it affects me") in a couple of
other places before I've finally discovered that this is the package
that's causing this problem, which unfortunately has been around for a
couple of years now.

This bug has been reported upstream as well, but it's just taking very
very long to arrive at a decision and take action it seems.

Apparently one of the patches
(https://sources.debian.net/patches/glib2.0/2.50.1-1/0001-Fix-trashing-
on-overlayfs.patch/) which is here
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/glib2.0_2.50.0-1.debian.tar.xz)
to the original package which is here
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/glib2.0_2.50.0.orig.tar.xz)
is the root cause of this annoying problem.

As I prefer keeping one patition for the root filesystem (/), one
partition for user settings (/home) and one partition for user data
(Documents, Downloads, Drive, Music, Pictures, Public, Videos) which are
simply symlinked to my home folder for ease of use, I cannot move any
file to the trash in the root of these folders when I access them from
my home folder or nautilus sidebar.

This problem doesn't affect folders at all, nor any other files in
subfolders, etc.

So I was wondering if Ubuntu devs can leave out that particular patch
when building this package for Ubuntu - if it doesn't cause more harm,
which I doubt.

Otherwise, I would appreciate if I could learn how to do it myself: how
can I (as an end-user) compile the contents of
"glib2.0_2.50.0.orig.tar.xz" with all the patches, etc. in
"glib2.0_2.50.0-1.debian.tar.xz" except "0001-Fix-trashing-on-
overlayfs.patch"?
