Tracker was moved out of default in lucid:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=names&keywords=tracker
and into universe primarily due to the many complaints & bugs:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tracker

I purged tracker some time ago & switched to recoll. That said, I've not
tried tracker in quite awhile, so perhaps it has improved since the
lucid 0.6.95-1ubuntu6 version.
