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.

Last line of the error message is

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'pdfminer.six<=20200402,>=20181108' distribution was not found and is required by ocrmypdf

That's from the python-pdfminer package, which is in the dependencies, it's just that the current version is python-pdfminer-20200517-1 and ocrmypdf apparently needs an earlier version.

It seems this has happened before: https://github.com/jbarlow83/OCRmyPDF/issues/457

I added a new issue: https://github.com/jbarlow83/OCRmyPDF/issues/566

ocrmypdf, built from this package, does not work anymore. Some days ago it worked. (Sidenote: I also had issues with matplotib, some ugly things may happen these days in the python field).

I got the a quite long message, and one of the things mentioned was "pdfminer.six" together with ContextualVersionConflict.

Looking at the package-dependencies, pdfminer.six is not in there. So it should be added. Also certain versions seem to be needed. Let me know if you want the complete error message, then I may paste it somewhere.

Does there exist a way to avoid using the egg files? Or somehow removing the dependency checks altogether? Installing from the AUR should ensure that the package has its dependencies met, so I don't think that the checks are needed.

I already tried installing it through pip in a virtualenv, along with Pillow-SIMD, and it ignores the checks and directly works with Pillow-SIMD. So those checks can be skipped IMHO.

I'm not sure how to go about supporting Pillow-SMD in the package.

The PKGBUILD installs the package via setuptools, which results in an egg. The egg includes a requirement of Pillow>=6.2.0. You can see this at /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ocrmypdf-9.7.2-py3.8.egg-info/requires.txt (or a similar path, depending on your version). That results in the error you're seeing.

I think this would be avoided if the package were installed via pip, but the wiki discourages that. And I think even then you'd end up just moving the problem to a different level: the python-reportlab package is also installed via setuptools so is going to have an egg that looks for that same Pillow package. You'd get the same error, but it would be thrown by reportlab rather than ocrmypdf.

This does not work with Pillow-SIMD. This is the issue that I created upstream. Here are the logs when I run ocrmypdf --help:

Thanks. It looks like the confusingly named python-pdfminer package in community does indeed provide the needed python-pdfminder.six library rather than the abandoned python-pdfminer library.

That was the last AUR dependency, so maybe there's a chance of this getting adopted into community now.

Dependency aur/python-pdfminer.six possible should be replaced with community/python-pdfminer.

No, the computer was broken in transit. I still have it, just due to the pandemic the parts to fix it are arriving slowly. And it's made for 240V, and I now live in a 120V country.

@fbrennan Does that mean some Philippine police jockey can now upload trojaned PKGBUILDs in your name? If true we should summon the help of an AUR admin to delete your key.
