tracker doesn't work with directories besides home

[Timmie]

Binary package hint: tracker

I installed tracker. Via tail -f ~/.Tracker/tracker.log I found out that it successfully finished my preconfigure home directory. I did a test search with the tracker-search-tool and it worked well.

Since I have a lot of data stored on several direcories on a vfat drive I included these in the configuration file.
Now after indexing these finshed I searched again without *any* result.

In the log file it shows the following:

 prepared query SelectPendingByUri failed due to SQL logic error or missing database
^[O1;2P06 Mai 2007, 16:22:44:138 - Executing detailed search with params Files, ubuntu, 0, 10
06 Mai 2007, 16:22:44:138 - searching for ubuntu with smin 0 and smax 9, offset 0 and limit 10

It keeps constantly showing this sentence:
ERROR : prepared query SelectPendingByUri failed due to SQL logic error or missing database

But I have the databses which were built by tracker in place.

Thanks for looking at this!

should be fixed upstream

 tracker (0.6.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release.
     - Uses XDG directories to store the settings, cache, database and log
       files. Closes: #414860
     - Fixes the crash of the deskbar applet at session start. Closes: #434078
     - Does not fall back to polling when the inotify limit is exceeded.
       Closes: #412089
     - Correctly uses xdg-open to open the search results with the preferred
       application. This requires the xdg-utils package to be installed, which
       is a Recommends of tracker-search-tool. Closes: 415705
   * Removed debian/man/ as the man pages are now shipped upstream.
     Update tracker.manpages, tracker-search-tool.manpages and
     tracker-utils.manpages accordingly.
   * Removed patches that were applied upstream or are now obsolete
     - debian/patches/20-trackerd_manpage.patch
     - debian/patches/30-deskbar_plugin_max_results.patch
     - debian/patches/40-inotify_syscalls.patch
     - debian/patches/50-expand_pathname.patch
     - debian/patches/60-check_pointer.patch
     - debian/patches/70-check_magic_file_results.patch
   * debian/copyright
     - The htmless sources are not shipped anymore and the qdbm sources are now
       in a separate subdirectory. Update the copyright file accordingly.
   * debian/libtracker-gtk-dev.install, debian/libtracker-gtk0.install
     - Added. libtracker-gtk is a new library that provides handy GTK+ widgets
       for applications that use tracker.
   * debian/control
     - Drop libmagic-dev from Build-Depends, add libunac1-dev and libqdbm-dev.
     - Add djvulibre-bin and gnumeric to Suggests. They are used as external
       filters for indexing djvu, csv and spreadsheet documents.
     - Add binary packages libtracker-gtk0 and libtracker-gtk-dev.
     - Update the long description of tracker-utils and include the new tool
       "tracker-status".
     - Add binary package tracker-dbg which provides the debugging symbols of
       trackerd and its utilities. Closes: #412140
   * debian/rules
     - Make sure we link against the system qdbm library.
     - Enable the support for libunac.
     - Explicitly enable the compilation of the GUI, the preferences applet
       and libtracker-gtk.

jaunty:

if I add a directory to search, jaunty doesn't remember it: next time I open the preferences, it isn't present in the preferences, it's not indexed, and therefore it's not searched
