Bug#959172: tracker: Status subcommand reports miners are idle, while tracker-extract and tracker-miner-fs are busy

[Matijs van Zuijlen]

Package: tracker
Version: 2.3.4-1
Severity: normal

Dear maintainer,

On my machine, tracker's extractor and miner are using quite a lot of
CPU. top shows tracker-extract between 60% and 100%, and
tracker-miner-fs between 0 and 40%.

In an effort to find out what tracker is doing, I ran `tracker status`.
However, it reports:

  Currently indexed: 226321 files, 54250 folders
  Remaining space on database partition: 114.8 GB (24.59%)
  All data miners are idle, indexing complete

If the miners are this busy, I would expect something other than 'idle'
to be reported.

Kind regards,
Matijs
