You are right. Thank you. By opening tracker-indexer.log I have found
many messages such as the following

"unable to open database file"

So, now the questions are:

1) What's the best to not loose data such as the tags? Perhaps they
are stored into the media files.

2) How do I avoid to public private data?

Perhaps the best way to proceed is to open the SQlite data base and
check what type of information it contains and remove the one cannot
be public. After that I can submit the bug report.

Ciao,
