trackerd [...] CRITICAL [...] assertion [...] failed

[Conrad Knauer]

Binary package hint: tracker

This is possibly the same as Ubuntu Bug #155700 but its reporter thought not, so I'm filing it separately; if one can be shown to be a duplicate, please mark it as such, thank you.

When one starts typing something in the Search field of the deskbar applet, messages in the form of "trackerd [...] CRITICAL [...] assertion [...] failed" appear in ~/.xsession-errors and the "Bug Buddy" may open, asking users to report the issue to Gnome. Examples:

** (trackerd:5479): CRITICAL **: tracker_indexer_get_hits: assertion `query->words' failed

** (trackerd:6248): CRITICAL **: scan_directory: assertion `tracker_is_directory (uri)' failed

I filed it on Gnome: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=489094
But they market it as a duplicate of http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474131
and they noted that: "it's from tracker returning a file that does not exist anymore. It's
fixed in 2.20.1" so the fix is ready upstream...
