The binary /usr/libexec/tracker-miner-fs-3 just crashed on me. But why does my KDE spin have the tracker-miners-3.2.0-2.fc35 package installed? I don't recall seeing it before the system upgrade to F35.
According to dnf repoquery --whatrequires tracker-miners-3.2.0, nothing requires this in my KDE system, so its presence seems like a bug. Looking at dnf logs, the system-upgrade to F35 installed (not upgraded) libtracker-sparql, tracker, and tracker-miners.
dnf repoquery --whatrequires tracker-miners-3.2.0
tracker and tracker-miners seem unnecessary on a KDE system running Baloo, which uses the KFileMetaData file info extractors. sudo dnf remove tracker would remove a dozen unused dependencies on my system. Removing libtracker-sparql would remove over 1.2 GB including firefox and thunderbird so it's a lot more intertwined.
sudo dnf remove tracker

I've just tried on F36 KDE:

From my limited experience, it doesn't appear to remove anything that I really need.

This is still the case in fedora 37

Added to meeting list so it can be discussed.
@ngompa and @siosm will take care of this. Apparently is GTK3 which is bringing this in. We can, however, directly exclude tracker-miners and/or tracker from the spin
tracker-miners
tracker
It's a recommends in gtk3: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gtk3/blob/rawhide/f/gtk3.spec#_92
I can remove it from Kinoite.
For the KDE Spin we can exclude it from the media but with dnf it will get re-installed on updates.
This is not true anymore. That behavior was fixed in F36.
OK, then, we're good.
