trackerd hangs during indexing of the attached files

[ooops]

Binary package hint: tracker

After gutsy upgrade tracker started indexing my home. It never finished and I tracked it down to the following directories and files (will attach a tar).

tmp$ ls -g test-i18n
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 ooops 0 2000-09-30 22:02 arch.tgz
drwxr-xr-x 2 ooops 4096 2006-09-30 19:35 dir
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ooops 0 2000-09-30 21:36 exe
-rw-r--r-- 1 ooops 0 2000-09-30 21:36 file
-rw-r--r-- 1 ooops 10 2002-12-31 15:29 hügo.dat
-rw-r--r-- 1 ooops 0 2000-09-30 21:37 image.jpg
lrwxrwxrwx 1 ooops 4 2007-10-22 21:37 link -> file
prw-r--r-- 1 ooops 0 2000-09-30 21:55 pipe

Apparently it simply stops waiting for something to happen. To try it out kill your trackerd, unpack the attached tar in some directory and start trackerd in that directory:

trackerd -v 2 -s 0 -i test-i18n

It will indicate that it has started indexing for some of the files and after that do nothing anymore. Stopping it with ctrl-c does not work. It receives the signal but hangs afterwards.

The tar with the bad files.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10?

[ooops (ooops)]

No, it does index not hang and indexes files in the tar I had attached
to the bug-report.

If I understand right, this issue can be closed, right ?

[ooops (ooops)]

Yes.
