The flag was invalid and has been removed with no action taken as no new version was released. There's nothing to do for this package; no new release has been made. Rebuild, as @eclairevoyant has said.

ocrmypdf is breaking since the system updated python-uharfbuzz to version 0.54.0-1. I had to downgrade to the old version 0.53.7-1 and everything is working again. This is the error:

ImportError: /usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/uharfbuzz/_harfbuzz.abi3.so: undefined symbol: hb_raster_image_get_extents

I'm loving this package. Thanks to the maintainers. Hope this will make it into a repository soon.

Since the update to Python 3.14 and the transition to OCRmyPDF v17.x, the current depends array is incomplete, leading to ModuleNotFoundError at runtime. Please add the following mandatory dependencies:

python-pydantic (required for OcrOptions validation)

python-uharfbuzz (required for text shaping)

python-fpdf2 (required for the new default PDF renderer)

Without these, the application fails to start even if the build process completes successfully.

Upstream here - v17 introduces some new features and new recommended dependencies:

If anyone faced: ImportError(_msg) from _e ImportError: pikepdf's extension library failed to import

Try pip check or pip install pikepdf and install any missing dependencies.

Then re-compile: pip install ocrmypdf --force

The optional dependency 'jbig2' was not found, so some image optimizations could not be attempted.
