** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: tracker
  
  Hi all,
  
  I think the target entity is the trackerd or the tracker-applet.
  
  Working on removable media, a popup from the tracker showed me that the
  index was corrupt, what provided me 3 options: Accept, Cancel, Start
  Reindexing (or something like that). The main issue is that whatever I
  click onto, the popup always re-appeared showing exactly the same
  message, with the same 3 options. I saw from:
  
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tracker/+bug/305739
  
  that this is a new feature, but the popup should disappear after the
  user commits one option. I used the top command and I saw that both
  trackerd and tracker-applet used either the 50% of the CPU (so the full
  CPU in usage from them), from the very beginning of the popup, and
  nothing about re-indexing was committed yet. When I accepted to re-index
  the content, the same popup reappeared, in addition to a new one
  advinsing that the re-indexing process could take a long time.
  
  In order to have a useful computer, I had to kill (15) the tracker-
  applet, and now I have the trackerd using the 50% of the CPU, even that
  I have nothing enabled to be indexed (at least conciously).
  
  Best,
  
  Jordi

+ ***TEST-CASE FOR SRU***
+ 
+ * With the current version of tracker (0.6.93-0ubuntu1), for those 
experiencing corruption you will see an error notification dialog with 
"Reindex", "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons.
+ 1) Clicking Ok or Cancel will dismiss the dialog briefly and it will always 
re-appear straight away.
+ 2) Clicking "Reindex" in the error dialog may cause the dialog to disappear, 
but it may reappear again a short-while later if the reindex wasn't successful 
in clearing the corruption.
+ 3) Choose "Reindex" from the applet whilst monitoring the contents of 
~/.cache/tracker. Note that file-index.db and email-index.db are not deleted on 
reindex.
+ 
+ * With the newer version of tracker (0.6.93-0ubuntu2), if corruption is 
detected you should see a brief notification warning you that an index error 
was detected. This should disappear and re-indexing should commence with no 
user interaction required. The notification should not reappear again 
afterwards. Also:
+ 1) Make sure that you still see a confirmation dialog when manually 
requesting a reindex (right-click on applet, select Reindex. A "Reindex your 
system?" confirmation dialog should appear).
+ 2) Select a manual reindex from the applet. When doing this, monitor the 
contents of ~/.cache/tracker. After initiating the reindex, all .db files 
should be deleted briefly and then recreated again.
+ 
+ It may be difficult to test due to you having to wait for Tracker to
+ corrupt the index, which might never happen. For those brave enough, you
+ can try manually corrupting your ~/.cache/tracker/file-index.db
