How to install Tesseract-OCR 4.1.1 on Alpine

Question

I'm running in a Docker image. When I do an apk add tesseract-ocr, I get version 4.0.0. I found version 4.1.1 here: https://alpine.pkgs.org/edge/alpine-community-aarch64/tesseract-ocr-4.1.1-r5.apk.html. Tried various combinations with apk add --repository, but couldn't get it working. So I just downloaded the apk file and now trying to install it directly, but it's not automatically getting the dependencies. Any ideas? I'm a newbie when it comes to using APK. Not sure what the APKINDEX is that it's complaining about

 # apk add --allow-untrusted tesseract-ocr-4.1.1-r5.apk
fetch https://pkgs.org/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz
ERROR: https://pkgs.org/: Permission denied
WARNING: Ignoring APKINDEX.8fc13182.tar.gz: No such file or directory
ERROR: unsatisfiable constraints:

  so:libicuuc.so.67 (missing):
    required by: tesseract-ocr-4.1.1-r5[so:libicuuc.so.67]
/ #

Here is the contains of /etc/apk/repositories when the docker image first comes up

/ # cat /etc/apk/repositories
http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.9/main
http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.9/community

My dockerfile contains FROM openjdk:8-jre-alpine All my experimentation has been done on a clean image, so nothing is messed up.

Looks to me at first glance like you actually messed so badly with your apk repositories that you broke it somehow. Could you `cat /etc/apk/repositories` and add that to your question? — β.εηοιτ.βε, Jan 01 '21 at 19:36
Also, could you provide the docker image you are using as base? (aka what Alpine version) — β.εηοιτ.βε, Jan 01 '21 at 19:39
Please do not use comments to add useful information. Rather [edit] your question. — β.εηοιτ.βε, Jan 02 '21 at 22:02
So as said https://pkgs.org/ is not in an out-of-the box image. You should start anew with a clean image. — β.εηοιτ.βε, Jan 02 '21 at 22:16
Your issue here is: it won't work. As stated in the link you provided, this package was build for Alpine edge. But `openjdk:8-jre-alpine` is build on Alpine 3.9. — β.εηοιτ.βε, Jan 04 '21 at 19:07
Ah, thank you. I did not realize what the difference was. I'll see if I can find a combination that works. — Peter Kronenberg, Jan 04 '21 at 21:35
I think eventually got it working with `FROM adoptopenjdk/openjdk8:alpine` — Peter Kronenberg, Aug 12 '21 at 17:59
