combine_tessdata not found on Ubuntu 14.04

[Traun Leyden]

According to http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/combine_tessdata.1.html, combine_tessdata should be installed on Ubuntu 14.04, but I'm not seeing it anywhere.

# dpkg -L tesseract-ocr

It seems like the ubuntu package only installs the /usr/bin/tesseract binary and the man page for combine_tessdata.1.gz

To install combine_tessdata, will I need to build from source?

[Traun Leyden]

I was able to build from source using the following Dockerfile:

https://github.com/tleyden/docker/blob/master/tesseract-training/Dockerfile

(based on instructions https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/Compiling)

In that docker container, all the tools such as combine_tessdata, wordlist2dawg, dawg2wordlist, etc seem to be working.

I upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 yesterday and I am seeing the same thing.
