I'm not very much tempted to do anything... but thanks, much appreciated :-)
If someone is really interested in correcting the source, I will help providing all the information he asks. But I don't fancy doing anything myself. I'm tired of this tracker-extract thing crashing year after year and I don't believe it is worth it :-(
See Bug 1155165, reported Oct 2019, for instance. Still "New". It is the same problem, thousands of coredumps (machine then was less powerful).
Previously I reported Bug 1123869, january 2019. That one was solved.
Chuckling... Treat it like the dreaded-dog, shoot it in the head and be done with it. I've never needed beagle or tracker to find a file for me (but it has been tempting to find something like silver-searcher or other well behaved indexer) If you were interested in trying the strace approach, I'd try editing the unit file and adding strace with, e.g. ExecStart=strace /usr/lib/tracker-extract At least then strace is started when tracker-extract starts. You may need to quote it, e.g. "strace /usr/lib/tracker-extract" but I'll have to defer to those better at unit file internals for that. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
