this is not a bug.

more likely you have compiled tracker without --prefix=/usr at some 
point in the past.

delete tracker.service file from the data directory in your source tree 
and recompile as above with prefix. Check the generated tracker.service 
after compile contains the correct path to trackerd - if so the tools 
should be able to launch trackerd via dbus activation.
