Description Cyril Levet 2020-10-18 14:15:19 CEST

Description of problem: gnome-document does not launch and return the following error : 
(org.gnome.Documents:12631): Tracker-ERROR **: 14:06:49.832: Unable to find default domain ontology rule /usr/share/tracker/domain-ontologies/default.rule
Trappe pour point d'arrêt et de trace (core dumped)

I have checked and tracker is already installed.

Bug fixed by installing tracker2. It seems that gnome-documents has not migrated to tracker 3 yet. So the dependency should be tracker2 and not tracker. I have not checked upstream if a tracker 3 version exists.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-documents-3.34.0-4 


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch gnome-documents

Hi, thanks for reporting this bug.

Upstream are late to the soup but they are in transitional state to tracker 3 to all their applications.

I do think tracker2 binaries should be installed as long as all GNOME apps are not updated to tracker 3.
I think also updating from Mageia 7 will retain tracker2 installed.

I don't know therefore if Gnome Documents will be updated upstream.
GNOME = 3.38
Gnome Documents = 3.34 (no new version since 11 months)

According to this upstream commit:
Commit 5e53fd9f
authored 11 months ago by Christopher Davis's avatar Christopher Davis 🌱
flatpak: Pin tracker to 2.3 branch

Tracker has branched for Tracker 3.0. See
https://discourse.gnome.org/t/tracker-has-branched-for-3-0-use-the-2-3-branch-if-you-want-stability/1889
for more information.

So Gnome Documents should be pinned to tracker 2.3, until new version come.

Assigned to the package maintainer.

The tracker2 lib should already require the right package. After checking and fixing the (unneeded) gnome-documents require I noticed I didn't properly obsolete the previous tracker2 library and gir package. I've submitted new tracker2 packages (to ensure the right dependency), plus a new gnome-documents (though that'll hide the tracker2 packaging error).

It works, now. It did not find any of my test PDF documents but now it launches without errors.

Per changes and comment 3.
