well, so true.

The root cause of this bug was a silent ABI break in tesseract 3.04.00 -> 
3.04.01
which is reverted upstream 
(https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/issues/254).

See the corresponding Debian bugs:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=794489
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=816857

And see also for the whole picture:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=815056
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=815860
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=815970

From my point of view it should have been save to use libtesseract3 (3.04.00-5)
with a binary that was build against libtesseract3 (>>3.04.01-4). This does not
seem to be the case.

As the Debian maintainers of tesseract didn't provide much help in the past (see
the first two mentioned bugs) and as it will not affect any Debian release I 
just
closed the bug. But as you said it's actually still a bug in tesseract.

Best,
Philip
