Package contains unnecessary file

[Oleg Moiseichuk]

If you look inside the package tesseract-ocr-eng_3.02-2, in the folder /tessdata you will find two files - eng.traineddata and eng.traineddata.__tmp__. The second one looks as some temporary file which somehow got into the package. It has the size more that 20 Mb (the same as eng.traineddata) and this __tmp__ is absent in other language file. Despite its compressed size may be much less, it can be removed to reduce the package size, if it is not needed.

Thanks for reporting.

Indeed, this looks like a temporary file which got included int the final package. I looked a bit more into this and discovered that this issue has actually been fixed in tesseract-eng version 3.04.00-1 on Ubuntu Wily. It looks like it was simply deleted when the new version was synced [1], see the old [2] and new [3] list of files for comparison. I therefore believe this issue can be marked as resolved.
