The best I can do is to rely on the Symbolic Math Toolbox, that came up with a piecewise result. Perhaps you can use this in your code:
syms x L U
f(x) = 1/(x-1);
intf = int(f,x, L, U)
intf =
piecewise(L <= 1 & 1 <= U, int(1/(x - 1), x, L, U), 1 < L | U < 1, log(U - 1) - log(L - 1))
The ‘L’ and ‘U’ variables are the lower and upper limits of integration, respectively.

As always, my pleasure.
Wolfram Alpha evaluates it using the Cauchy principal value
