Performing verification for Mantic. Since Mantic already has the patch that changes the systemd unit file, any clean mantic install will see no changes whatsoever. Lets prove this. Install a fresh Mantic Desktop VM. It has tracker-extract 3.4.6-0ubuntu0.23.10.1 from -updates installed. On boot, check the environ of gvfs: $ cat /proc/$(pidof gvfsd)/environ | xargs --null -n1 HOME=/home/ubuntu LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LOGNAME=ubuntu PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/snap/bin SHELL=/bin/bash SYSTEMD_EXEC_PID=2467 USER=ubuntu XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 GTK_MODULES=gail:atk-bridge QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1 XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share/ubuntu:/usr/share/gnome:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/:/var/lib/snapd/desktop DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus DEBUGINFOD_URLS=https://debuginfod.ubuntu.com DESKTOP_SESSION=ubuntu GDMSESSION=ubuntu GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE=ubuntu IM_CONFIG_PHASE=1 PWD=/home/ubuntu SHLVL=0 USERNAME=ubuntu XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntu:/etc/xdg XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=ubuntu:GNOME XDG_SESSION_CLASS=user XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=ubuntu XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland _=/usr/bin/gnome-session MANAGERPID=2231 INVOCATION_ID=120a4f32773f453bbcf40068665ed76a JOURNAL_STREAM=8:26214 Next, we check to see if there are any systemd unit files for it at all: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ find /etc/systemd/user -name tracker-extract-3.service ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ find /var/lib/systemd/deb-systemd-user-helper-enabled -name tracker-extract-3.service No output for either. I then enabled -proposed, and installed tracker-extract 3.4.6-0ubuntu0.23.10.2. Checking environ for gvfs: $ cat /proc/$(pidof gvfsd)/environ | xargs --null -n1 HOME=/home/ubuntu LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LOGNAME=ubuntu PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/snap/bin SHELL=/bin/bash SYSTEMD_EXEC_PID=1539 USER=ubuntu XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 GTK_MODULES=gail:atk-bridge QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1 XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share/ubuntu:/usr/share/gnome:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/:/var/lib/snapd/desktop DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus DEBUGINFOD_URLS=https://debuginfod.ubuntu.com DESKTOP_SESSION=ubuntu GDMSESSION=ubuntu GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE=ubuntu IM_CONFIG_PHASE=1 PWD=/home/ubuntu SHLVL=0 SSH_AGENT_LAUNCHER=openssh SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/run/user/1000/openssh_agent USERNAME=ubuntu XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntu:/etc/xdg XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=ubuntu:GNOME XDG_SESSION_CLASS=user XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=ubuntu XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland _=/usr/bin/gnome-session MANAGERPID=1344 INVOCATION_ID=e8ebf3ac10d24be1b9596aabd9ac53a3 JOURNAL_STREAM=8:22513 Its the same. Again, checking for any unit files: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ find /etc/systemd/user -name tracker-extract-3.service ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ find /var/lib/systemd/deb-systemd-user-helper-enabled -name tracker-extract-3.service Again, no output. For mantic users who clean installed, 3.4.6-0ubuntu0.23.10.2 is safe and causes no changes. The interesting case for verification then becomes doing a series upgrade from jammy running tracker-extract 3.3.3-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 or earlier, to mantic. Install Jammy Desktop. With tracker-extract 3.3.3-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 from -updates, we see the systemd unit file symlinks present in default.target.wants. aduser@ubuntu:~$ ll /etc/systemd/user/default.target.wants/tracker-extract-3.service lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 47 Feb 10 16:12 /etc/systemd/user/default.target.wants/tracker-extract-3.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/user/tracker-extract-3.service aduser@ubuntu:~$ ll /var/lib/systemd/deb-systemd-user-helper-enabled/default.target.wants/tracker-extract-3.service -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 8 2023 /var/lib/systemd/deb-systemd-user-helper-enabled/default.target.wants/tracker-extract-3.service aduser@ubuntu:~$ ll /var/lib/systemd/deb-systemd-user-helper-enabled/tracker-extract-3.service.dsh-also -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65 Feb 10 16:30 /var/lib/systemd/deb-systemd-user-helper-enabled/tracker-extract-3.service.dsh-also I then performed a series upgrade to mantic, with tracker-extract 3.4.6-0ubuntu0.23.10.1 from -updates.

I then enabled -proposed, and installed tracker-extract 3.4.6-0ubuntu0.23.10.2 and rebooted.

Happy to mark as verified for mantic.
