[Pkg-gmagick-im-team] Bug#743042: alternative path /usr/bin/compare-im6 doesn't exist

[Vincent Fourmond]

  Hello,

> update-alternatives: error: alternative path /usr/bin/compare-im6 doesn't exist

  Took me a while, but I got it: it's just that the dependency between
imagemagick and the imagemagick-6.q16 package is not tight enough, and
as the directory for the binaries are versioned, the symlinks go
dangling.

  Fix is on its way.

  BTW, there was no need to reopen #709845: while the symptoms were
the same, it was a different cause.

  Cheers,

      Vincent
