If I evaluate the code to enable trashing for root and try to delete an empty symbolic link from Eshell, I get:
File is missing: /path/to/link

Steps to reproduce:

1. emacs -Q
2. M-: (connection-local-set-profile-variables 'remote-trash-directory '((trash-directory . "/sudo::~/.local/share/trash/")))
3. M-: (connection-local-set-profiles `(:application tramp :protocol "sudo" :machine ,(system-name)) 'remote-trash-directory)
4. M-x eshell
5. (require 'em-tramp)
6. (setq delete-by-moving-to-trash t)
7. sudo touch /usr/local/bin/test-file
8. ln -s /sudo::/usr/local/bin/test-file /sudo::/usr/local/bin/test-file-line
9. sudo rm /usr/local/bin/test-file
10. sudo rm /usr/local/bin/test-file-line

"File is missing: /usr/local/bin/test-file-link".

Expected behavior:

I'm able to delete it.

The problem got even more complicated. Now i'm trying to just delete any file, and i can't do that whether i have trashing enabled or not:

~/.emacs.d $ (require 'em-tramp)
em-tramp
~/.emacs.d [1] $ eshell/sudo touch /usr/local/bin/test-file
~/.emacs.d $ eshell/sudo rm /usr/local/bin/test-fileRemoving old name: Permission denied, /usr/local/bin/test-file
