Comment 6 for bug 1770877

1. I don't understand the lintian libc error. Cairo gets it too.

2. https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/tracker/commit/8d56fdf0
says "The rpath is used by tracker-store to load the private libraries in /usr/lib/tracker-0.10"
We can mention that in the lintian overrides files.

3. tracker-extract is a private library so that's why the shlib thing is used. See
https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/tracker-miners/commit/97c81629

So I think the rpath and shlib issues are connected.

4. debian/30-tracker.conf was added because Tracker depends on inotify watches. The default in Ubuntu Desktop is 8192 which isn't enough for users with a lot of indexed files. The tracker developers (and I guess distros like Fedora and Debian) don't believe there should be noticeable performance impact from using inotify watches. Some disagree. See bug 1666676 and https://askubuntu.com/q/154255/

5. The xdg autostart thing is bug 1697769 . The bug is annoying enough that it's mentioned in the Bionic Release Notes.

6. The preinst can't be removed yet because Debian stable only has 1.10.5-1 because it was still part of the tracker source package then. The complicated handling is because it's being moved from /etc/ to /usr/lib/ . I think sometimes we wouldn't bother keeping local modifications to that file, but since Michael already did the work, there's no reason to remove it now.
