Comment 1 John Kizer 2025-01-08 07:17:04 UTC 
Hi - thanks for your bug report! This specific crash has come up on the openSUSE Forums, and appears to stem from the package tesseract-ocr not being marked as a required dependency of the Skanpage package, meaning the former doesn't necessarily get installed when the latter is installed.

Until the openSUSE Tumbleweed packaging is changed to reflect that, you can directly install the tesseract-ocr package to resolve the issue.

Thanks!
