Package: tesseract-ocr Version: 1.02-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Hi, I wanted to test tesseract, but couldn't get it to work as it seems a whole directory with executables and configs is missing. from /usr/share/doc/tesseract-ocr/README: The executable must reside in the same directory as the tessdata directory I downloaded the .tar.gz from the sourceforge project and that contains a tessdata directory. The contents of that dir are not included in the package, nor in any other package I could find. Usage example: $ tesseract xwVfbbC7hv.tiff bla batch Could not open file, /usr/bin/tessdata/freq-dawg #update-db $ locate tessdata $ So concluding: a directory with vital files is missing, and that dir is expected to be in a non-FHS compliant spot. I'm guessing a patch will be necessary to make this package comply with Debian FHS, I'll take a look at the source, but can't promise anything. Thanks!
