We needed to update tracker to tracker-0.8.x (tracker-0.6.x is just not good), and paperbox can't be made to work with tracker >= 0.7. IMO, paperbox needs to be dropped; most (nearly all) of its functionalities are handled by the tracker-search-tool and tracker's nautilus plugin, and its upstream developer had made it clear he had no intention of working on it anymore. I have gently asked the paperbox maintainer to obsolete it, but got no response. A lot of tracker internals have changed from 0.6.x to 0.7, they really can't work together (I can made them parallel installable). > > I've made this to explicitly 'Conflicts' with the actual/latest tracker > > package.
