[Python-modules-team] Bug#919008: python3-pdfminer: should depend on python3-pycryptodome, not recommend python3-crypto

I think that you need to patch the pdfminer code, then, because it looks
like it is trying to load pycryptodome, rather than pycrypto.

OCRmyPDF is currently patched not to use pdfminer at all, but before
that, I was seeing this:

    spwhitton at develacc:~>ocrmypdf --version
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/bin/ocrmypdf", line 6, in <module>
        from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

      File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3139, in _initialize_master_working_set
        working_set = WorkingSet._build_master()
      File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 581, in _build_master
        ws.require(__requires__)
      File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 898, in require
        needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
      File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 784, in resolve
        raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
    pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'pycryptodome' distribution was not found and is required by pdfminer.six

i.e. when OCRmyPDF tries to load pdfminer.six, pdfminer.six tries to
load pycryptodome.

Let me know what you decide to do, as it might be possible to reenable
pdfminer.six in OCRmyPDF.
