tracker-0.9.30 in rawhide uses QT in its extractor library

It can't be split out (in current tracker setup), the QT library is one of the many others used by the tracker extractor library for extracting music album arts.
Why do you think tracker cannot depend on QT?

> Why do you think tracker cannot depend on QT?

Well I presumed by the fact that its a dependency it needs it. Given that is also depends on the whole GTK stack. It is generally considered to split out desktop specific requirements into the (see transmission* as an example). QT adds 75Mb to a standard install for devices that are resource constrainted like a table or an XO-1 (which has 1Gb of storage) using up 8% on a duplicate library isn't necessary.

Fixed in tracker-0.9.33-1.fc15 (now requires gdk-pixbuf instead of qt4 for album art extraction).

Thanks.
