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.

...Did you make sure the file exists? That package is now up to 37.0.0-1 in [extra] and has been flagged OOD again so is likely to be updated again soon.

Can you please resolve?

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/python-cryptography-36.0.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

has result

error: '/var/cache/pacman/pkg/python-cryptography-36.0.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst': could not find or read package

After upgrading ocrmypdf to version 13.4.4, I needed to downgrade the cryptography package with sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/python-cryptography-36.0.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst to get rid of the error

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'cryptography~=36.0.0' distribution was not found and is required by pdfminer.six.

Run:

p -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/python-pdfminer-20220319-1-any.pkg.tar.zst

To downgrade python-pdfminer to the 20220319 version.

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'pdfminer.six!=20200720,<=20220319,>=20191110' distribution was not found and is required by ocrmypdf free(): invalid pointer Aborted (core dumped)

Even if I add the line "sed -i "s|20220319|20220506|g" setup.cfg" before setup.py

drik commented on 2022-05-08 00:32 (UTC)

The line is now: sed -i "s|20220319|20220506|g" setup.cfg

@frankspace: Yes, it did help. Thank you once again for sharing. It was too logical and clear not to work. I just successfully retried and compile it manually after implementing the fix in the PKGBUILD. There might have been a typo on the first try. Sorry for taking your time away, but at least it helped me starting learning about how to fix this kind of annoyances by myself. Have a nice day and stay safe.

Ps: still out of date though, thence a workaround by the end user is still needed, unfortunately. At least it has not yet crashed on me, under heavy usage.

@NickJolly: Sorry about that.

The purpose of the fix was to implement the upstream commit that fixed pdfminer compatibility: https://github.com/ocrmypdf/OCRmyPDF/commit/04996caac34a418cf233c0f3c8ac436b6f2b5920

I unfortunately don't have any idea how to do that with a python package by way of stuff like a git patch or whatever, but the only functional part of that commit is very simple: changing a version number in setup.cfg. Although sed's syntax occasionally ranges from opaque to outright insane, that's a pretty simple fix, because no special characters are involved and it's a unique number that occurs only once in a single file.

For context, here is my entire (as amended) package() section:

package () {
  cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}"
#until they push a new version, needed to work with current pdfminer
  sed -i "s|20211012|20220319|g" setup.cfg
  python setup.py install --root="$pkgdir/" --optimize=1
  install -Dm644 LICENSE $pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE.rst
}

I just double-checked that it does compile for me, and work afterwards, in a clean chroot. I should point out that I only use AUR helpers to check for packages that need updating, I always compile stuff with makepkg. Also, I use Artix, but that really shouldn't make a difference.

Does that help?

EDIT: I see upstream is claiming their test suite fails here: https://github.com/ocrmypdf/OCRmyPDF/issues/937#issuecomment-1082721212 -- so it's possible this fix works for my (rather simple) use-cases but won't work for everyone. That, I wouldn't have a clue about.

Hi there @frankspace. The fix you kindly shared did not work for me. Would you mind elaborating on it? There must be something I am missing. Thank you
