GNOME "tracker" is built with "libexecdir" in its own prefix in the store and "tracker-miners" in its own. The problem is that "tracker" does not have access to the executable files in the "libexecdir" of "tracker-miners", so commands like "tracker3 extract file.flac" does not work. Due to this problem GNOME Music cannot list FLAC files (I don't know how it listed my MP3 file). As per this issue <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-music/-/issues/522>, "tracker3 extract" should work for GNOME Music to show FLAC files.

The problem here is that the tracker CLI searches these commands in a
hardcoded directory.  Instead of doing that, it should be using a
search path for libexec/tracker3.

Hi Liliana,

I found out that tracker also looks for "TRACKER_CLI_SUBCOMMANDS_DIR".
I tested it and it worked!


* gnu/packages/gnome.scm (tracker-miners)[native-search-paths]: Add
search path for "TRACKER_CLI_SUBCOMMANDS_DIR".

Cool, I've applied some stylistic changes and prepared a format-abiding
commit message, but otherwise LGTM.  The actual push will have to wait
a week, though :)

Cheers

Even though tracker is able to find tracker-miners executables, GNOME Music is not showing any of my music file in the ~/Music folder. It may have another problem.

I pushed the current patch regardless.  Hope that helps.

Cheers
