Hi,

looks like you have different versions of Tracker installed in
different prefixes, a good recipe for weird errors :)
If you want to completely remove Tracker, just remove

/prefix/share/tracker
/prefix/libexec/tracker*
/prefix/lib/libtracker*
/prefix/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedeskop.Tracker*
/prefix/bin/tracker*

with prefix being either usr or usr/local, depending on what you want
to remove (not sure I listed *all* the files here, but that should at
least remove the most important to avoid interferences).

Cheers

Adrien
