Bug Description

Tracker does not index anything. When I try to track down the bug, it turns out that tracker-miner-fs crashes immediately, regardless of what I ask it to index. Note in particular that I did not ask it to index removable media or any directory that is on an SFTP mount, so I don't think this is the same as bug #973088. I tried running it under gdb, but there doesn't seem to be a -dbg version of the package. The output from simply running it:

I can confirm this bug exists, as I am experiencing it at well. Tracker is not indexing, look for the cause, find that tracker-miner-fs is aborting with the same error posted here. No remote or removable file systems.

OK, I confirm the bug, but I can add important imformation:

I got all symptoms as in the title post, when I mount WEBDAV remote volume; tracker-miner-fs crashes as was shown and does not start since. This is the last message before crash:

Tracker-Message: Mount point added for URN 'urn:nepomuk:datasource:68513af5b222d3f586bcd540cd2a6bf0'
**
Tracker:ERROR:tracker-file-system.c:483:tracker_file_system_get_file: assertion failed: (parent_node != NULL)

It is 100% reproducible. Just mount webdav remote filesystem and tracker-miner-fs immediately crashes.
