If there is dangling symlink in Trash then even if the file to be
deleted to Trash exists and is not symlink, I get the same error
message:

To reproduce:

1. Create dangling symlink:

   $ ln -s something more

2. Delete the file `more' to Trash by using Emacs

3. Create new file

   $ touch more

4. Try deleting file `more' by moving to Trash, there is error:

   file-already-exists: File already exists: 
/home/data1/protected/tmp/Trash/more
