How I fixed my latest install error

Hi!

I recently did a fresh ubuntu reinstall my ankiOCR install was not working. I fixed it apparently and wanted to share it here.

The error appeared when running the OCR command and was the following:

Error encountered during processing. Debug info:

My fix was simple : cd /usr/local/share/anki/bin ; mv liblzma.so.5 liblzma.so.5_renamed_to_avoid_ankiOCR_crash_see_issue

Have a nice day and thanks a lot for the addon :)
