Dear Maintainer,

Files/Nautilus in Gnome 3.18 no longer allows access to the properties
of files on remote shares such as NFS or Samba. This previously worked
on 3.16 and earlier.

To reproduce:

Right-click on a file/directory on a remote share, notice that the
bottom of the context menu "Properties" is greyed out. Also Ctrl+I does
nothing.

Its not a permissions issue.

As the release notes show, this was fixed upstream in 3.18.1. I tested
with both Debian versions and the fix works.
