gimage-viewer: needs tessdata package

This is kind of borderline here between a wishlist item and a bug-

report, but gimage-viewer needs a tessdata package as a dependency,

since otherwise it can't do any OCR scanning at all (no languages

available). tessdata repo is available at

A work-around is to (1) clone the tessdata repo; (2) link it to

~/.config/tessdata, and then (3) edit your gviewer settings to use

local user paths instead of the default global paths.

Our tesseract-ocr package now includes minimal support for English. And

support for other languages is made available via the

tesseract-ocr-tessdata-fast package.

Closing, thanks for reporting!
