Hi,

package already depends on tesseract lib, but should
suggest/recommend/depend the virtual tesseract-ocr-lang/uage package to
be able to actually use the ocr functionality.

Thanks

Hello,

I wanted to scan a page quickly on KDE. I tried skanpage and it crashed.
I could find a solution for myself (installing the tesserect lang
package).

Skanpage crashes if *no* tesseract-ocr-lang package
is installed and the default option "use ocr" is used for exporting a
pdf. So if a user doesn't uncheck that default option or doesn't install
a tesseract ocr lang package the application crashes.

I think changing the default configuration of the application (making
the option to use ocr not the default option) or inluding a tesseract
ocr lang package as a dependency would solve the issue.

The current default configuration of skanpage causing the program to
crash as
when trying to export as PDF as described above.

I think the default configuration of the package should allow the user
to make a scan and exporting it to a pdf without having to adjust the
configuration.

Thanks
