This "bug" is still here... another example, which is actually quite common scenario for me.
I create some files and directories, say it's /var/www/cake . Many web apps require a directory that's writable by a web server. In this case, it's /var/www/cake/app/tmp . Files created by apache belong to www-data :www-data . You can move /var/www/cake to trash, but then you can't erase /var/www/cake/app/tmp from it. Now... if a user didn't have root privs, then he'd be stuck with a non- empty trash forever. -- Emptying trash should really empty trash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/3868 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
