I agree: it is really annoying that this patch is taking so long to appear. I
hope that we aren't going to have to wait until openSUSE 15 to get it. I guess
that the problem is that relatively few people happen to have files that
trigger the bug, so backporting it into 42.3 isn't seen as a priority. I only
see this for one user on one machine myself.

A mitigation is to execute the command 'tracker daemon -k' after logging in,
but that is hardly a fix.
