To begin with the whole story: When I first transferred my music to the n900, I put it into MyDocs/Musik. Later I renamed Musik to musik because its that way on my other computers, too. Should be no problem, media player rescans library, done. Poof. Forgot about vfat's case insensitiveness. So now I had each and every track twice in the library. (Once in MyDocs/Musik and once in MyDocs/musik I guess) because it didn't notice the case change. Then I fiddled with tracker-processes --hard-reset, but that didn't make it regenerate the database from scratch (shouldn't it do that? rm's a lot...).
Okay. Next try: Retransfer all the music although that'd take a whole night for 26GB. After deleting all the music, the media player still insists on having the dead track entries there. (Half of the tracks is gone from the db, before it was twice the number of real tracks because each track's in there twice.) So I wasn't able to get these dead entries out of the db.
Last chance: apt-get purge mediaplayer. After purging I noticed that it's only in apt because of being referenced by other packages, therefore I cannot reinstall that thing via apt.
Can someone hint me somewhere I could get that media player deb package from? I don't need to reflash because of that, do I!?

Originally I expected the whole system to be (re-)installable from the repository like on every other Linux distro...
