This bug was fixed in the package tracker - 0.6.90-1ubuntu1

---------------
tracker (0.6.90-1ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Merge with Debian experimental, remaining changes (LP: #329201):
    - debian/control:
      + Do not build-depend on universe dependencies:
        libunac1-dev, libqdbm-dev.
      + Depend on python-gnome2-desktop (for patch 05_gnomedesktop.patch)
    - debian/patches/02_no_kde_autostart.patch:
      + Do not autostart trackerd in KDE, as they have strigi.
    - debian/patches/03_dont_activate_indexing_and_watching.patch:
      + Don't active indexing nor watching as decided by the
        technical board.
    - debian/patches/05_gnomedesktop.patch:
      + Use python module gnomedesktop directly rather than
        deskbar.core.gnomedesktop python module
    - debian/rules:
      + Enable sqlite external db instead of qdbm.
      + Pass --disable-unac to configure. The new version won't
        automatically build without UNAC support when it
        is not installed now.
    - debian/30-tracker.conf:
      + Increase maximum number of inotify watches to 524288.
    - debian/tracker.py:
      + Added an apport hook to ignore tracker-extract crashes, since they
        are caused by setrlimit terminating tracker-extract when it raises
        it's cpu/memory limit.
    - debian/tracker.install:
      + Don't install the DBus service so tracker is not automatically
        started when other software try to see if it's already running
      + Install tracker.py in /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/
    - debian/tracker.postinst:
      + Start procps to apply "sysctl.d/30-tracker.conf"

    - 02_no_kde_autostart.patch
    - 03_dont_activate_indexing_and_watching.patch
    - 05_gnomedesktop.patch
  * Dropped patches:
    - 04_Correct_spelling_of_additional.patch (merged upstream)
    - email-crasher.patch (the patch is obsolete now)
