BTW, something else that needs to be considered: The user may have replaced /etc/systemd/user/gnome-session.target.wants/localsearch-3.service by their own symlink (or some plain file?). If this is removed by "dpkg --purge tracker-extract" (while the file actually belongs to localsearch), this could be very bad. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Pascaline project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
