False alarm, I found that the package "baloo-widgets" was not installed, and
it's the one containing /usr/bin/baloo_filemetadata_temp_extractor which is
used for extracting metadata on-the-fly when file indexing is disabled.

I'll put a comment about it in 332065 for those who might have missed this too.

(BTW, baloo-widgets contains *only* this tool, it sounds like it might be time
to merge it into the main baloo repo and deprecate baloo-widgets.)
