Thanks for spotting this, I patched pdfminer and removed pycryptodome from
install_require, since it's not used, and it's not really required.

Just uploaded the new revision, now pgk_resource seems is fine:

>>> import pkg_resources
>>> pkg_resources.require(['pdfminer.six'])
[pdfminer.six 20181108 (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages)]

Kind regards,
