Bug Description

Binary package hint: tracker

Jaunty, fully updated.

Tracker does not indexes Evolution email, since it cannot load its evolution indexer module.
It seems to look for it in the wrong place.

I attached below the version of the tracker, the error showing were it expects to find the module, the list of modules were we can see the actual place of the module.

This is a regression.

Thanks.

Martyn, I've seen that you are the person taking care of tracker, so I assigned this to you.
I can provide more info if needed, just ask. Thanks.

That Evolution module is the old one, which is not included in Ubuntu anymore. Tracker is now using the new Evolution plugin, which I can confirm is actually working properly despite the error you see.

Also Dan, it is generally considered quite impolite by most developers to assign bugs to somebody without discussing it with them first (I obviously can't speak for how Martyn feels about it, but in general you shouldn't assign bugs to someone without asking their permission first).

If you want to get the attention of a particular individual, please subscribe them instead.

Hi Chris, this should be fixed. I will double check.

Hi Martyn,

The warning was due to us only partially disabling the old Evolution module in Ubuntu. The current version no longer builds libtracker-module-evolution.so but still installs /usr/share/tracker/modules/evolution.module, causing this warning.

@Chris: lesson learnt, I did not know the proper procedure.
I was actually surprised that I'm allowed to assign people to the bugs, it was too tempting not to try.
Suggestion: I guess launchpad can be modified to remove the possibility for everyone (like me) to do this and let only developers pick up bugs. In this case, the only option would have been to notify Martyn, by subscribing him, and he will pick up the bug (or ignore it).

@Martyn: sorry!

@both: thanks for fixing this so quickly!

OK, I will look into fixing it Monday. I am likely to do a release next week sometime with all the crashers and leaks we managed to fix in the last week already.
