Comment 1 cparg 2021-07-14 12:59:45 UTC

Looks like this package should be retrieved from the "PowerTools" Repository.
I was under the impression that epel depends only on the OS base repository.

Comment 5 cparg 2021-07-25 08:14:01 UTC

Thanks for the re-build. However, as I stated earlier the problem was resolved adding the PowerTools repository. I didn't know that EPEL has dependencies on that repo.

The problem with installing Tesseract due to the missing liblept.so.5 library is clear, and the guide provides solid information. To resolve this issue, the most likely solutions are manually installing the Leptonica library or finding an alternative source for the required package.

tesseract is a OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program. It converts graphics to text.
