Failure to build with python:3.11-buster

[Lenny4]

Here is my Dockerfile:

FROM python:3.11-buster AS app

WORKDIR /srv/app

ENV PYTHONPATH /srv/app

RUN apt update -y && \
    apt install -y libegl1 libgl1 libxkbcommon-x11-0 dbus tesseract-ocr liblept5 leptonica-progs libleptonica-dev libtesseract-dev
RUN pip install --upgrade pip

When I connect to my container and I launch: pip install tesserocr

I got error:

$ pip install tesserocr

Tesseract 4 is old and unsupported version. Did you tried to use current tesseract version (5.3)?

[zdenop]

I am not sure why you closed this issue "as not planned", but there are Windows version of tesserocr for Python 3.6-3.11, so it is already done.
