On top of nautilus, nemo and thunar, I also found that pcmanfm and caja have the same problem. Dolphin, which doesn't rely on libglib2.0-0 is unaffected. The problem may actually be on some other depency that is shared by all these packages, but I think that libglib2.0-0 is the best bet.
I haven't confirmed if the problem is present on Xenial, which has a newer version of libglib2.0-0. If Xenial is unaffected, and the newer version doesn't break anything on Wily, I guess that all that has to be done is to backport it to Xenial. I would really like that you would look closely into this bug. It is extremely annoying and very important in terms of user experience. I just don't consider it critical because it doesn't result in data loss, because if it did it would be disastrous. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1510587 Title: Nautilus crashes when delete a file in a folder which is a symbolic link to another filesystem Status in Nautilus: Confirmed Status in glib2.0 package in Ubuntu: New Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Nautilus crashes with an "assertion error" whenever accessing a folder, which is a symbolic link to a folder in another filesystem, and then deleting any file inside that folder (the file is not deleted). Steps I used to reproduce de problem in my machine: 1) /dev/sda1 partition mounted on root folder with XFS filesystem; 2) /dev/sda2 partition mounted on /mnt/data folder partition with EXT4 filesystem; 3) create a folder "/mnt/data/test" and the empty text file "/mnt/data/test/file.txt"; 4) in your home folder, create a symbolic to the "test" folder above with "ln -s /mnt/data/test"; 5) open the symbolic link folder with "nautilus <home_folder>/test"; 6) delete the "file.txt" file (pressing the delete button) and watch nautilus crashing with the following error: nautilus: malloc.c:2909: __libc_malloc: Assertion `!victim || ((((mchunkptr)((char*)(victim) - 2*(sizeof(size_t)))))->size & 0x2) || ar_ptr == (((((mchunkptr)((char*)(victim) - 2*(sizeof(size_t)))))->size & 0x4) ?
