Coreutils 9.0 is already out and contains the solution for this problem, so once the package is updated this will be solved. This also happens in bullseye, in that case the one-liner mentioned by Vincent Lefevre can be cherry-picked. Berto

I don't see such open bug in xdg-desktop-portal ? I saw this crop up when I did a sshfs mount.. df hinted at the strange /root/.cache directoy - I thought it was due to the /root/.cache/doc/by-app directory - which has nothing in it - can't be deleted. I figured it was in use - but lsof can't see it. lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.portal file system /run/user/1001/doc Output information may be incomplete. $ ll /run/user/1001/ returns d? ? ?? ?? doc/ Finally the error lsof gave me had me look for a bad mount - but unmounting the sshfs mount does not make it go away. Ahh . It was a second mount at /run/user/1001/doc I was able to get back to normal with: $ umount /run/user/1001/doc - so once gone - I tried to recreate - turns out it is not the sshfs mount - it is $ pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY meld That creates the mess -- pkexec is part of policykit-1 Don't see any such bugs.. hope these breadcrumbs help someone.
