there's one small problem with tracker, actually.

mikmod - in core obsoletes 'tracker'.

this is obviously an old obsolete but it does prevent you from
installing tracker on fc6 machines.

run this:
yum --exclude=mikmod install tracker

 and it will install, however, it will be removed on the next yum update
run w/mikmod.

maybe a bug against mikmod to clip that old obsolete?
