The problem arise when you try to trash all hidden files from a directory.
You may tempted to do something like this: `traash-put dir/.*`. Don't do this!! (the typo is intentional). If you do this with a version before the trash-cli-0.11.0.dev-r215.tar.gz you can lose some of your data.
The problem is that "dir/.*" is expanded by the shell in '.', '..', and others filenames. Before the bug fixing trash-put tries to delete the '.' and '..' directories.
Fortunately the bug was reported (thanks to garciamx) and fixed (thanks to me :-).
You can install the latest version of trash-cli with:
easy_install trash-cli
