Bug Description
See the Debian bug for more details.
The tracker 2.1.4 libraries will exit with an error, basically crashing the app if they can't find /usr/share/
The most obvious consequence is this means that nautilus won't run if tracker is not installed. But the tracker binary package isn't yet in main. The MIR is LP: #1770877

Let me give an update on the situation. For more details, see the Debian bug and its duplicate.
Tim split tracker-common out of tracker and pushed that change to the Debian packaging. This fixed this issue, but a key Debian maintainer for this package believed that this issue should be worked out upstream instead. I opened an upstream bug, but there hasn't been any patch proposed yet.
nautilus may end up needing a hard dependency on tracker because the idea suggested upstream which may work for brasero may not work for nautilus. Ubuntu can't add that dependency yet because the tracker-miners MIR isn't finished yet.
Finally, the new tracker version hasn't gotten a lot of testing in Ubuntu yet and it's not necessary for anything else in Ubuntu. Therefore, we made the decision to remove tracker and tracker-miner from cosmic-proposed today. Hopefully, everything will be in place for Daring Dragon.
