Version 0.12.7 won't trash to ecryptfs-mounted home directories about trash-cli HOT 3 CLOSED

Thank you for submitting. The software is open source and done in my scarce spare time. If you provide enough information or if you are able to patch it is more likely that I will have the time to add the support to encrypted home directories.

Here some information that can help:

• which operating system are you using?
• which version of trash-cli are you using?
• how do you set up ecryptfs in your system? Could you provide me the commands (from the terminal) to be used to set it up?
• have you tried modifying the trash.py code in order to dump the exception?

Ciao

Additional Detail

• Ubuntu 11.10
• Tested with trash-cli versions:
  • v0.10.r55-0ubuntu2
  • v0.12.7
• With ecryptfs-utils installed, you can create a new user with an encrypted home directory using sudo adduser --encrypt-home test_user.

In all likelihood, the issue is probably that trash-cli doesn't expect $HOME to be on a separate partition. From a practical point of view, ecryptfs mounts the encrypted partition over the existing home directory, so it creates a partition boundary where it may not be expected, even though the target mount point is certainly visible with mount(8).

I don't have resources to fixing this. Closing without resolution.
