All of this effort and it was this simple.

Last time I put so much effort into someone lol.

Renaming the binary.... is one of the first things you should have done.

Makes me want to type "rm /usr/bin/tracker" really ;-).

I suggested straight away to symlink /usr/local/bin/tracker to 
/usr/bin/tracker.

Karl's recommendation actually came after mine, but I have bad memory..

Thanks.
