I'd say all this is caused by a packaging error as tracker pkg
contains some lib files:

/usr/lib64/tracker-0.12/libtracker-common.so
/usr/lib64/tracker-0.12/libtracker-common.so.0
/usr/lib64/tracker-0.12/libtracker-common.so.0.1102.0
/usr/lib64/tracker-0.12/libtracker-data.so
/usr/lib64/tracker-0.12/libtracker-data.so.0
/usr/lib64/tracker-0.12/libtracker-data.so.0.1102.0
