Title:
  nautilus crashes when trying to view the properties of any folder not
  owned by root with gksudo or sudo

Status in Nautilus:
  Fix Released
Status in Ubuntu GNOME:
  Fix Released
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in nautilus source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed
Status in nautilus source package in Utopic:
  New

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Prevents a user from using sudo or gksudo to view or change the
  owner properties of folder not owned by root. In this case clamav

   * This also fixes the following upstream bug report which has not
  been reported on launchpad:
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700492

   * The debdiff above applies a fix from upstream gnome git:
  https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=f7d1394a03e6d02cd5c67f9c85a142e33f14566f
  but has been fixed in 3.14.2 of nautilus and is not present in vivid

  [Test Case]

  * Install gksu and clamav (sudo apt-get install gksu clamav)
  * Run gksudo nautilus from the terminal
  * Navigate to /var/lib and right-click on the folder clamav and click on Properties
  * Nautilus crashes with a segfault in _IO_vfprintf_internal

  [Regression Potential]
  * Low, this patch just fixes incorrect handling of the owner field, it should not introduce any issues and has been well tested in 3.14.

  -----

  This constantly happens when trying to look at the properties of a
  file after running gksudo nautilus.
