Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

1) lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 10.10
Release:        10.10

2) apt-cache policy nautilus
nautilus:
  Installed: 1:2.32.0-0ubuntu1.1
  Candidate: 1:2.32.0-0ubuntu1.1
  Version table:
 *** 1:2.32.0-0ubuntu1.1 0

3) Expected: old file(s) get overwritten by the new ones
4) as soon as the dialogue pops up, asking if I want to merge folder/replace 
file, nautilus is crashed - clicking replace does nothing. If I click the x 
(close-button) Ubuntu asks me if I want to force-close nautilus (that's what I 
normally do in this situation).
This error occurs EVERY TIME!
On askubuntu you can find my detailed description including a video of the bug 
and a nautilus-debug-log:

Copied from http://askubuntu.com/questions/14290/nautilus-crash-when-
merging-overwriting-files:

On my Ubuntu 10.10, whenever I want to copy some files/folders over some
other files/folders, or when I try to empty the trash, nautilus crashes!

Example:
I have a folder with some files. Now I want to overwrite this folder with a 
folder with the same name, same files, but some additional files, the merge 
window comes up, I choose merge and nautilus crashes (does not respond, when I 
press the close button I can force close it). Some times it even does the 
copying/emptying (trash), but it always crashes!

This happens when copying to the same partition/ntfs
partition/netshares, but not when I make a new folder and copy the
files/folders into that (without overwriting anything). On a netshare,
it's even possible to merge these files afterwards with another
computer!

dmesg/syslog/messages does not show any entry related to that problem.

Does anyone have a solution for this very annoying problem?

EDIT:

    dpkg -l nautilus* (see output in pastebin)

EDIT2:
I found out, nautilus already crashes before clicking replace/merge (as soon as 
the question appeares. In the video it's not entirely clear, that i click the 
cross before the force-close dialog appeares.
