Package: tracker-utils
Version: 0.6.3-3+b1
Severity: normal
Hi,
The tracker-tag utility has a bug which makes it ignore tags in Chinese
(Big5 encoding, as per LC_CTYPE). Here is how to reproduce the bug:
$ /usr/bin/tracker-tag -s <some Chinese string>
/usr/bin/tracker-tag: internal tracker error: No keywords supplied
$
Although not tested, I believe that the bug also affects tags in
non-ASCII, non-UTF8 encodings. I traced the bug to program segments
that (unnecessarily) attempt to convert tags from current locale to UTF8
using g_locale_to_utf8(). The conversions fail for non-ASCII, non-UTF8
strings (it looks like because some other glib function already
converted the strings to UTF8?), and because tracker-tag does not check
error returns from g_locale_to_utf8(), it silently ignores those tags.
I found that removing the conversion code segments eliminates the bug
and makes tracker-tag function correctly (tested adding, querying, and
removing tags). The attached patch implements this fix.
