tracker-miner-fs syslog spam: Could not execute sparql

[Dražen Matešić]

I noticed tracker-miner-fs spamming syslog on every reboot.

Because there are too many messages i created a github gist at https://gist.github.com/CrazyLemon/14a54c58efcd0839a4e990a49da9b303

As you can see thats a lot of messages.

I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 with latest updates.
ii tracker-miner-fs 1.6.2-0ubuntu1 amd64 metadata database, indexer and search tool - filesystem indexer

This kind of syslog spamming has been happening at least since june 27th '16.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Almost one year and zillion of logs entries later, has anyone got any clue if this will be fixed?
