Public bug reported:

When upgrading Ubuntu Desktop from 20.04 to 22.04, there's often (pretty
much always) a crash from tracker-extract, as described in the following
error report:

https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/d7866d85-14cc-11ed-a52b-fa163e55efd0

The crash occurs during the upgrade, which means it's fairly hard to
investigate exactly what's going on as apport fails to extract a stack
trace, the binaries being overwritten during the upgrade.

However, the crash occurs because of a unhandled SIGSYS, meaning a
seccomp filter issue. I've tried backporting this patch fixing a similar
issue:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/tracker-
miners/-/commit/4cda983b02e49f6bd28b94a6b96c9fe7026887ef

but it doesn't apply, likely due to the code having diverged too much
since.

My proposal is thus to disable tracker-extract during upgrade, including
in all user sessions. I'm assuming that the new version will be enabled
automatically as its unit file changed name anyway.
