I don't have tracker & co. on my virgin 11.4 install and it is not
installed by *default*, so it must have been something that *you* deemed
necessary and desirable when you choose what you wanted included in your
installation  :^).

Do you not keep indexes of anything, anywhere?  How do you find something
that is seldom used and doesn't have a "perfectly logical location"?
