Sorry... my DSL line is playing yo-yo today.

Didn't you have this same problem last month?

Couple of more things to try:

1. System|Administration|Synaptic Package Manager|
Click (lower left): Custom Filters|Broken - see what that turns up. If
there is anything there, then: Edit|Fix Broken Packages

2. Try reinstalling libtracker-gtk0 + tracker first

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libtracker-gtk0
sudo apt-get install --reinstall tracker
