Tracker installation problem

The problem is I cannot install tracker because it conflicts with libtracker:

kerneli@core ~ $ pacman -S tracker
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: tracker conflicts with libtracker. Remove libtracker? [Y/n] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: nautilus: requires libtracker>=0.6.95
kerneli@core ~ $ pacman -S tracker
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: tracker conflicts with libtracker. Remove libtracker? [Y/n] n
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: tracker: conflicts with libtracker
kerneli@core ~ $

I have synced and tried different servers without success.

Any ideas?

Re: Tracker installation problem

Yes, the tracker package is at fault. It installs tracker version 0.6.95 (and correctly replaces libtracker, since the latter provides the same files, albeit with less functionality). However, it claims to provide tracker version 0.6.6, which is not only wrong, but also not enough to satisfy nautilus's dependency.

I have yet another problem: tracker (using the tracker-0.6.95 package) simply segfaults since about a week, I assume since the large update to Gnome. I haven't found a way to fix this. Even worse, the PKGBUILD for tracker does not even compile on my system... This should really be fixed.

I will file a bug report.

Edit: Did that: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16724

I did not mention the segfaulting. I assume it will be fine once it is rebuilt. If not, I will fine another bug afterwards.
