[Pkg-gmagick-im-team] Bug#666477: imagemagick: upcoming rsvg removal

[biebl at debian.org]

Source: imagemagick
Version: 8:6.6.9.7-7
Severity: important
User: pkg-gnome-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: rsvg-removal

Hi,

during an automated test it was detected that imagemagick uses the rsvg
utility [1].

This tool has long been deprecated and replaced by rsvg-convert. In a
recent upstream commit rsvg was removed from the librsvg package [2].

The rsvg-convert utility is command line compatible with rsvg, so the
update should be straight forward.

Please update imagemagick at your earliest convenience.


Thanks!

Michael,
on behalf of the Debian GNOME team.
