a reproducible example of the problem:

╰ sudo trash-empty                                                          
╰ sudo trash-list                                                           
╰ sudo cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
╰ sudo trash /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf                         
╰ sudo trash-restore                                                        
No files trashed from current dir ('/home/farid')                            
╰ sudo trash-list

same problem with trash-rm. the program crashes with python.

You can get around this by calling the script directly. Try which trash-restore and use sudo with the full executable path.
