Debian buster problem

[jsbien]

I used the program succesfully several month ago. Now I get:

pip install pdf-link-checker
Requirement already satisfied: pdf-link-checker in /home/jsbien/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (1.1.1)
Requirement already satisfied: pdfminer in /home/jsbien/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from pdf-link-checker) (20140328)
/home/jsbien/.local/bin/pdf-link-checker -h
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/jsbien/.local/bin/pdf-link-checker", line 54, in <module>
from pdfminer.pdfparser import PDFDocument, PDFParser
ImportError: cannot import name PDFDocument

Any suggestions?

If you install pdf-link-checker v1.2.0 directly from GitHub
pip install git+https://github.com/bootlin/pdf-link-checker.git
that should fix the problem!

Should it run with python3?
After pip3 install I get No module named 'httplib despite the fact that python3-httplib2 is already the newest version (0.11.3-2).

I'm running Python 2.7.17. I did reinstall Python2 on my Mac at one point with this line of code:
brew reinstall python@2

On buster I have 2.7.16 and unfortunately there are still problems - cf. the enclosed log.

Now pip3 claims pdf-link-checker 1.1.1 has been installed succesfully, but the program is not in the path. Moreover it is not present in the reported installation directory:
/home/jsbien/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages .
What can be done about it?

Greetings
Would you mind testing again on release 1.3.0, please?

Thanks for reporting this issue.

Thanks!

When tested on https://www.researchgate.net/publication/368455744 (you have explicitely ask for the access) I get
ERROR: URL https://cyfrowe.mnk.pl/publication/24392Cimelia failed. Reason: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1123)> (the PDF was created by me with XeLaTeX).

When tested on https://www.researchgate.net/publication/363698181 the program reports a lot of errors which seem to be actually not existing; moreover it reports strange links like file:///C:/Users/katar/Desktop/#x1-700212 which are not visible in the text (the PDF was created by the editors in InDesign).
