Recoll works wonderfully in Linux Mint, fails in openSUSE Tumbleweed and Antergos
I have used and depended on Recoll in Linux Mint for several years. Version 1.21.5 in Mint reliably indexes a large directory on an external drive, without error messages. The configuration indicates the top directory to be indexed and the database directory, and nothing else. I have no settings in Local parameters, or in a recoll.conf file.
I recently configured boot partitions with openSUSE Tumbleweed and Antergos. I installed Recoll 1.23 on both, and couldn't get them to work. Each run reported thousands of errors, and tests afterward proved that Recoll failed to index many files. I checked for missing helpers, experimented with local parameters and recoll.conf settings, but made no headway. I am attempting in each case to index the same NTFS formatted drive, and obtained the Recoll versions used from the Mint, openSUSE Tumbleweed (KDE Extra) and Antergos non-AUR repositories. I haven't been able to find a log file of skipped/missed files, and don't see any mention in the documentation of where I can find such a log. Any suggestions from Recoll users will be welcome. If others have had problems with Recoll in other-than-Debian-based distributions, I'd like to know that, too. |
Please post clear output of the errors you encountered.

Problem solved! It looks like an unrtf packaging issue, at least with Tumbleweed. The troubleshooting details:
