Can't create empty file with right click

[Florent Mertens]

Hi,

Since the last update of nautilus (2.16.1) you can't no more create empty file with right-click>create new document>empty file. Every time, you fall to a permission error :
"you do not have permissions to write to the destination"

[William Grant (wgrant)]

I can confirm this.

Thanks for your bug. I've forwarded it upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359564

Was due to a distro patch, this upload fixes the issue:

" nautilus (2.16.1-0ubuntu2) edgy; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/patches/02_umask.patch:
     - dropped for now, it creates issues on file creation (Ubuntu: #63934)
"

Hi, what about using the 02_umask.patch from Debian? Like in

nautilus (2.17.1-0ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low

 [...]
  * debian/patches/02_umask.patch:
    - updated version from Debian

It works fine in Debian and should not create issues for Ubuntu.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Philipp it's fixed in feisty

[Philipp Schlesinger (philipp-sadleder)]

Sebastien, I meant as a fix for edgy

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The bug doesn't apply to edgy, it was created by the patch which has been dropped before edgy

[Philipp Schlesinger (philipp-sadleder)]

That's right, but the patch was intended to fix: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=314796

It is fixed in 2.16.3: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327249
It works in Debian experimental and is with the same patch fixed in Debian testing: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/n/nautilus/nautilus_2.14.3-8/changelog.html

I don't find a seperate bug for that issue in Ubuntu, but the bug is present and caused by removal of the prementioned patch.
