You're welcome. After I executed `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade`, APT replaced the patched version by the buggy repo version. Thus, I had to manually reinstall the patched packages. In order to prevent it from happening again, I held the 5 packages, which is done by running this command: sudo apt-mark hold thunar thunar-dbg thunar-data libthunarx-2-0 libthunarx-2-dev This will prevent APT from replacing those packages during an `upgrade` or `dist-upgrade`. When a new Thunar release becomes available, all the user has to do is to run this command: sudo apt-mark unhold thunar thunar-dbg thunar-data libthunarx-2-0 libthunarx-2-dev ...and then run `sudo apt-get upgrade` or `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` to cause APT to install the new Thunar release. I've updated the README.txt file on my OneDrive. Now it explains how to hold/unhold DEB packages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1512120 Title: [SRU] thunar crashes on file renaming To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunar/+bug/1512120/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
