Bug Description
MS-Word files are report as having MimeType application/msword which is not listed in /usr/share/
if application/msword is added to the list of supported MimeTypes tracker works fine
to reproduce the problem create a MS-Word file (anyfile.doc) and run:
/usr/lib/
this produces beside some other output the following error:
MIME type guessed as 'application/

As /usr/share/ tracker/ extract- rules/10- msoffice. rule silently gets reverted with updates for tracker-extract, it is very annoying to have tracker running without any functionality.
PLEASE ADD application/msword TO /usr/share/ tracker/ extract- rules/10- msoffice. rule, as otherwise tracker is of no use for people who must make use of MS-office formats!!!
