Endless tracker start attempt
Hi, I'm new reporting issues here, so if I'm missing some evidence please let me know and I will send it,
There is a problem with the tracker3 miner on my Debian machine that consumes a lot of processor resources: my laptop CPUs heat to the top without apparent justification and this never ends.
The tracker miner log shows an infinite loop:

This happens when there are not files left to index:
user@LeonardoPC:~$ tracker3 status
Currently indexed: 606378 files, 106703 folders
Remaining space on database partition: 372.6 GB (48.17%)
All data miners are idle, indexing complete
3100 recorded failures
