Confirmed, here is a quick way to reproduce: (1) Create a temporary folder (henceforth folder "A") and put some files in it that can be deleted (ie you dont care about.) (2) Create another temporary folder which I will refer to as folder "B". Within folder B create a symlink to folder A. (3) Move folder B to the trash in nautilus (4) Empty the trash and notice all files in folder "A" are gone.
I think this should be a critical bug as it will delete files people do not expect to be deleted. The coreutils file manipulation programs do not follow symlinks this way so noone expects symlinks to be followed. -- Nautilus is following symbolic links when emptying trash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188361 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
