Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: tracker
I have many excel files on my system and I quickly noticed when tracker
had finished it's initial indexing that their content was not indexed.
After sifting through various forums and website I discovered that
package "gnumeric" needed to be installed before this could happen.
I would suggest that whatever part of gnumeric makes this possible be
made a dependent package for tracker. I see that gnumeric is a
"suggested" package for tracker. Alternatively, perhaps gnumeric should
be a "recommended" package.
If it need to be an optional package, then it would be nice to be able
to enable it from the indexer preferences GUI.
