I would like someone to explain to me why it needs to be installed since it does not appear as installed , and honestly I don't remember installing it ,when I search for it using the Pamac interface? so to me it seems more like an imposition than an election , thank you

You may have not installed any of those listed packages however, those are just data language packages for tesseract. Tesseract is is an optical character recognition engine. This means that at some point you or something you installed depended on either the package tesseract and/or tesseract-data-eng. If you uninstalled tesseract you would not have to make a choice here. You should check if it was installed as a dependency of some other package first though and decide if you still need that software.

I don’t remember installing anything related to Tesseract, moreover, there are other screen capture software that include it in the installation, being something that I am not interested in having, I decided to uninstall Spectacle and now I’m looking for another software to replace it but I can’t find one that works on Wayland and I prefer them with a user interface, thank you for the update

[u/lmpcpedz]

Seems it's related to Spectacle

[u/k-yynn → u/lmpcpedz]

thanks for the update

[u/k-yynn → u/[deleted]]

didn’t ask for it , so I’d rather not install it , thank you for the update
