I read the log and couldn't find anything meaningful from the first line
in the logs. I could however find that "tracker-extract" has something
to do with reading the files. Anyway, since I am not able to infer
anything from the log, I am attaching it to this defect. I hope it is
helpful to debug this issue further.
