Bug#1070716: /usr/libexec/gvfsd-trash: GFileInfo created without standard::name, should not be reached

[Michael Deegan]

Package: gvfs-daemons
Version: 1.57.2-2
Followup-For: Bug #1070716

I too have noticed this problem. With the added fun that the
syslog-forwarded logs are running my loghost out of diskspace.

In my case, my Trash folder on my network share contains about 2000 files,
most of which were relative symlinks, created by hand but later trashed
from within geeqie.

I removed all the symlinks (and their trashinfo):

   find -type l|while read f;do rm -f "$f" "$(echo $f|sed 's/^/..\/info\//;s/$/.trashinfo/')";done

While this ran, there was unbelievable amounts of syslog spam:

`grep -Fc '2025-08-25T20:28:' user.log` revealed that half a million lines
had just been added to syslog files.  Another half a million would have been
added to /var/log/syslog too.

I created a test symlink (on a local filesystem), and deleted it using
Thundar (476 lines added to logs) and then restored it (474 lines added to
logs).

The takeaway I'm getting here is that having a nontrivial number of files in
Trash/Rubbish is something to be avoided due to this bug.
