AFAIU it had been - the original report says: | In my trash there is this file: | | lrwxrwxrwx 1 175 Jun 18 2019 Rock-and-Mineral-Identification.pdf -> /home/... I think there is indeed a problem with those `file-exists-p' tests in `move-file-to-trash' that check whether the file name to add (in the trash) already exists: when that name is the existing name of a broken symlink the result is `nil'. Those tests probably need to handle symlinks specially (using file-symlink-p I guess). Michael.
