@dreieck, I have already filed a deletion request for this unneeded legacy package: PRQ#49811.

Please remove python-pdfminer from the provides array. It only provides python2-pdfminer.

This one is no longer a replacement for python-pdfminer.

Having this package, instead of python-pdfminer, installed, makes ocrmypdf fail with:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    from ocrmypdf.__main__ import run

FWIW, there has been some activity on the project. Looks like euske decided to work on it again.

Looks, like this package does not make sense anymore. Last update in 2017. Last comment from 2017 says, it's broken.

And there is https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-pdfminer.six/ which seems to be the newest pdfminer-stuff.

So, wouldn't it make sense to remove this package?

Package is broken because HTTPS is enforced. Please fix.
