I was trying to avoid using a name that confuses it with the actual tracker
package (as it is a package that users might try to find and install as opposed
to a library that's just pulled in to satisfy dependencies).

I've made this to explicitly 'Conflicts' with the actual/latest tracker
package. As a result of this, I've re-added some files that were not package
earlier to prevent simultaneous installation conflict with tracker.

That's exactly why this package was created. Paperbox upstream doesn't have
plans to update to newer tracker API (not to continue the app development); and
the Fedora maintainer is not willing to deprecate it yet.

Update files at;

Thanks.
