Remove the existing version, then


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alex-p/tesseract-ocr
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt install tesseract-ocr

You need to replace in /etc/apt/sources.list repository http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu at http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install tesseract-ocr 

As for the beta version, I'll think ...
