Our tesseract-ocr package now includes minimal support for English.  And
support for other languages is made available via the
tesseract-ocr-tessdata-fast package.

Closing, thanks for reporting!

This is kind of borderline here between a wishlist item and a bug-
report, but gimage-viewer needs a tessdata package as a dependency,
since otherwise it can't do any OCR scanning at all (no languages
available). tessdata repo is available at 
https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata/.

A work-around is to (1) clone the tessdata repo; (2) link it to
~/.config/tessdata, and then (3) edit your gviewer settings to use
local user paths instead of the default global paths.
