** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: nautilus
  
  Ubuntu 9.04
  Nautilus 2.26.2
  
- preparation:
- on a ftp server, create a locally valid symlink
- access that remote ftp site using ubuntu and nautilus
- of cause, the symlink now is not valid
- (e.g. accidentally) access the remotely invalid symlink
+ Steps to reproduce the bug:
  
- expected:
- nautilus may ask to delete but should propose to not delete the remote symlink
+ On computer 1:
  
- instead:
- nautilus proposes to delete the remote symlink
+ - Open Nautilus and create a folder called blah
+ - Select that folder (blah) and create a symlink with right click Make Link 
option and bleh as a name.
+ 
+ - On computer 2:
+ 
+ - Go to Places -> Connect to Server, Select FTP and connect to computer 1 
+ - Go to the folder which contains blah folder previously created and the link 
to it
+ - Double click on the link bleh to access the blah folder.
+ 
+ Expected Results:
+ 
+ - Open the folder blah.
+ 
+ Actual Results:
+ 
+ A dialog is presented with the following information:
+ 
+ The Link "bleh" is Broken. Move it to Trash?
+ This link cannot be used, because its target "/home/user/blah" doesn't exist.
+ 
+ The navigation works fine with gvfs-bin utilities (gvfs-cat, gvfs-ls,
+ etc) so the link is not broken as nautilus stated.
