[Bug 428599] [NEW] Tracker ignores contents of djvu files

[kakaz]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tracker

Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex
Tracker 0.6.6
Gnome Version: 2.24.1

I have a couple of djvu files. Their mime types are recognised as image/vnd.djvu. By default their content is not indexed by tracker search system, although there is filter text/djvu_filter in /usr/lib/tracker/filters directory. As I know that tracker uses mime types, I create directory image in /usr/lib/tracker/filters direcotey and symbolic link named vnd.djvu_filter pointing to text/djvu_filter. I add image/vnd.djvu to default.services of tracker too. This does not help. 
Then I made several other things: change mime definition for djvu type from image/vnd.djvu to application/djvu, and some other variants. This does not help. 
Tracker still, and without any reason, uses always mime/vnd.djvu even if there is no such definition in the system ( both /etc/mime, gnome definitions, and also definitions in ~./local/share/mime directory. ). Gnome sees application/djvu, file -i sees application/djvu but TRACKER uses image/vnd.djvu. 

Please: use some clear dependency when we talking about mime types or do
not use it at all. When You trying use it, but in fact probably hardcode
it, it has strange impacts.

djvu_filter from /usr/lib/tracker/filters directory do produces text
file with correct and full content for very single djvu file I have, but
tracker never launches this filter! is uses tracker-extract with
image/vnd.djvu always!
