Error : pytesseract.pytesseract.TesseractError: (127, 'tesseract: error while loading shared libraries: libarchive.so.13: cannot open shared object file: No such

My apt file looks like this :

libgl1 libsm6 libxrender1 libfontconfig1 libarchive-dev libtesseract-dev tesseract-ocr tesseract-ocr-eng

My requirements file has pytesseract mentioned.

I added a buildpack, set the TESSDATA_PREFIX config variable path.

The issue persists.
