[Issue]: issue installing ocrmypdf > 16.5.0

[hiilmiee]

What were you trying to do?

I am trying to use OCRmyPdf with elasticsearch connector. Installing the library is fine up till 16.4.3. Once i tried to install 16.5.0, i received this error :

Searching for pdfminer-six>=20220319
Reading https://pypi.org/simple/pdfminer-six/
No local packages or working download links found for pdfminer-six>=20220319
error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('pdfminer-six>=20220319')

based on releast note, 16.5.0 is where ocrmypdf is being tested on python 3.13. My OS only up to python 3.12.8. could this be the reason why ?

Where are you installing/running from?

PyPI (pip, poetry, pipx, etc.)

OCRmyPDF version

No response

What operating system are you working on?

Linux

Operating system details and version

RHEL 9

Simple sanity checks

• Operating system is currently supported by its vendor (not end of life)
• Python version is compatible with OCRmyPDF
• This issue is not about a specific input file

Relevant log output

ocrmypdf is tested on Python 3.10 through 3.13.
Perhaps you have an old version of pip that is unable to find the required dependency or some connectivity problem to pypi.org.

what PiP version is required ? i dont think its a connectivity problem to pypi.org, else i wouldnt be able to download the older version. i did a curl to pypi.org, able to access
