Bug#1035648: unblock: lios/2.7.2-6
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
X-Debbugs-Cc: lios@packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:lios
Hello,
I have uploaded lios_2.7.2-6 for inclusion in bookworm.
[ Reason ]
As reported on Bug#1035379, upstream lios looks for available tesseract
languages by looking inside /usr/share/tesseract-ocr/tessdata, but on
Debian the data is stored in /usr/share/tesseract-ocr/5/tessdata.
The problem was already there in bullseye, in which we had a patch
to make it look in /usr/share/tesseract-ocr/4.00/tessdata, but when
tesseract was bumped to version 5, updating that patch was missed.
Of course, I had reported the issue upstream 5 years ago on
https://github.com/zendalona/lios/issues/6
but without answer so far.
[ Impact ]
Without this fix, the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) feature of
lios does not work, which makes it rather useless, since its purpose is
not only to scan, but particularly to run OCR.
[ Tests ]
This was tested by hand.
[ Risks ]
The code is very trivial.
[ Checklist ]
[X] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[X] attach debdiff against the package in testing
