I tried to reproduce your bug report with the latest version (0.6.1) and
trackerd does not crash here, when it indexes it's own tempfiles.

I thus set the severity to wishlist and changed the bug report title.
It's probably a good idea to ignore all files in $TMPDIR completely.

Cheers,
Michael

Bug#427818: tracker: Crashes on indexing own temporary files

[Jonathan McDowell]

Package: tracker
Version: 0.5.4-5
Severity: important

tracker appears to crash if it is allowed to index its own temporary
files; I have TMPDIR set to ~/tmp/ and running trackerd with no
parameters results in a Segmentation fault.

Setting TMPDIR to /tmp or passing "-e /home/noodles/tmp" to trackerd
prevents the crash, but it should be more intelligent about this itself.
