Couldn't find tesseract dictionaries on Debian

[sthibaul]

Hello,

We've had issues with starting lios at all on Debian, because the tesseract data is in l"/usr/share/tesseract-ocr/4.00/tessdata" instead of "/usr/share/tesseract-ocr/tessdata". Perhaps the tesseract backend should just use the output of the "tesseract --list-langs" command?

It's still not fixed in Debian 12 bookworm. To fix this in bookworm, create a softlink tessdata -> 5/tessdata in /usr/share/tesseract-ocr.

That is not really a fix :)

lios should really use the tesseract command-line tool, instead of hardcoding paths

I agree with @sthibaul. I think '--list-langs' can list the languages and we can remove other code since we are no longer support tesseract-training gui.
