A comment in the sqlite gnu/packages module shows that Tracker depends
on a variant of sqlite. It could be that newer Tracker depends on a
newer sqlite. This sqlite update would be updated in core-updates.
I have updates for fossil which also depend on newer versions of
sqlite.
You can chery-pick the sqlite update from core-updates if you
want or add it to a channel. fwiw, I have 2.25.2 and a flavor
with fts5+fts3 here for the fossil 2.7 series, works alright.
