Bug Description

For some reason, files inside "Trash" cannot be restored. Whenever I try restoring a file that was deleted or moved to trash, I get this error,

"Could not determine original location of 'My file'. The item cannot be restored from trash".

nautilus:
  Installed: 1:3.14.2-0ubuntu10
  Candidate: 1:3.14.2-0ubuntu10

 *** 1:3.14.2-0ubuntu10 0

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (development branch)
Release: 15.10
Codename: wily

I expected files in trash can be restored to their original location.

Trash was unable to restore files.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
