Description Göran Uddeborg 2015-04-27 16:57:42 UTC
Description of problem:
After installing spamassassin-FuzzyOcr I get error messages like this on

apr 27 18:32:35.490 [27575] warn: FuzzyOcr: Cannot find executable for tesseract

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spamassassin-FuzzyOcr-3.6.0-12.fc21.noarch

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sa-learn --spam <file-with-spam>


Actual results:
The warning message.


Expected results:
Just the regular "Learned tokens ..." output from sa-learn.


Additional info:
This is just a warning.  Maybe it should be considered correct not to require it.  But the situation isn't completely clear, so I thought I'd raise the issue for consideration.

Maybe this is a use case for the new weak dependencies that were introduced in rpm 4.12.

Somewhat confusing, there is some commented out mentions of tesseract in /etc/mail/spamassassin/FuzzyOcr.scansets saying it is disabled by default.  But the warning message leads me to assume it isn't completely disabled after all.  I haven't investigated the issue further.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2015-11-04 12:29:45 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '21'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 2 Göran Uddeborg 2015-11-05 22:28:24 UTC
The issue is equally valid in F23.

If a "requires" is deemed inappropriate, perhaps a "recommends" or at least "suggests" might be considered?

Fedora 27 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-11-30. Fedora 27 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
