Find breaks on ~/.gvfs directory

[pamindic]

When running find in a particular way there is an error reading the ~/.gvfs directory and find bombs.

sudo find / -name '.*something.*'

produces:

find: /home/myboxoftricks/.gvfs: Permission denied

The problem:

    * doesn't happen without the sudo
    * doesn't happen without the -name
    * doesn't happen when ~/.gvfs isn't on the search path

so basically when .gvfs in on the search path, and you use sudo and the name switch, find bombs.

Same problem is being reported with other distros. It seems to be a Gnome glitch.
Not good that root's file access is denied.

thank you for your bug report, what directories do you have in .gvfs? what user do you use to run the find command? could you describe how to trigger the issue and maybe open the bug on bugzilla.gnome.org directly since you say that's not an ubuntu issue

We are closing this bug report as it lacks the information, described in the previous comments, we need to investigate the problem further. However, please reopen it if you can give us the missing information and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future.

Close it, by all means, but the problem still exists it still exists . The ~/.gvfs directory is empty.
 The command:

find sudo find / -name '.*something.*'

still denies access for root to the ~/.gvfs directory.
The permissions on the directory are set to user:user
Have your tried it? Others are reporting the same glitch.

I can't think what further information there is to provide!

the title is somewhat misleading, the issue seems to not be specific to find but rather bug #225361
