Bug#981089: tracker-miner-fs: Tracker miners are started for (some?) system users

[Matijs van Zuijlen]

Package: tracker-miner-fs
Version: 2.3.5-2
Severity: normal

Dear maintainer,

I'm getting the following lines in my log:

  tracker-miner-f[1783345]: Unable to get XDG user directory path for special directory &DOCUMENTS. Ignoring this location.
  tracker-miner-f[1783345]: Unable to get XDG user directory path for special directory &MUSIC. Ignoring this location.
  tracker-miner-f[1783345]: Unable to get XDG user directory path for special directory &PICTURES. Ignoring this location.
  tracker-miner-f[1783345]: Unable to get XDG user directory path for special directory &VIDEOS. Ignoring this location.
  tracker-miner-f[1783345]: Unable to get XDG user directory path for special directory &DOWNLOAD. Ignoring this location.

This seems to happen because the miner is started for some system user,
probably postgres. I don't think tracker miners should be started for
such users.

Kind regards,
Matijs
