[Pkg-gmagick-im-team] Bug#709856: imagemagick: fails to install: update-alternatives: error: alternative path /usr/bin/compare-im6 doesn't exist

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: imagemagick
Version: 8:6.8.5.6-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
a release, thus the severity.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Setting up imagemagick (8:6.8.5.6-1) ...
  update-alternatives: error: alternative path /usr/bin/compare-im6 doesn't exist
  dpkg: error processing imagemagick (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
  Processing triggers for libc-bin ...
  ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   imagemagick


cheers,

Andreas
