This bug was fixed for beagle 0.2.0. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=322106 http://mail.gnome.org/archives/dashboard-hackers/2006-January/msg00051.html What version do you have installed?
seife@strolchi:~/projects/machineinstall> beagled --version Ignoring unknown argument '--version' Debug: Starting Beagle Daemon (version 0.2.1) unknown argument --version is also "nice" :-) This is beta3.
What kind of data is contained in those files? Any idea what backend (beagled --list-backends) they might have come from?
it looks like they are from digesting a mbox file stored in my home somewhere. They are the mime-parts of the mails. In case of something that was a zipfile, it is the zip directory listing. If needed, i can tar them up and attach as a private attachment.
Hmm, that was one of the cases I tested with, so it really should be fixed. Yes, can you please zip that up and attach it? Do you know if it's being indexed by the kmail backend or the filesystem backend? (beagle-index-info might help here, or running beagle-query --verbose <filename>)

Ok, I'll see what I can track down. BTW, the beagle-query search should be for "suse-labs", not a path. :)
Created attachment 66263 [details] output of "beagle-query suse-labs" no problem, just tell me what you need ;-)
Ok, I can dup this now. It appears to be an issue with the KMail backend, which would explain why I had never seen it before.
I checked a fix into CVS. I'll generate a patch for the package tomorrow.
Submitted to STABLE. Thanks Stefan for helping me track this down.
