[Pkg-gmagick-im-team] Bug#767156: imagemagick: FTBFS: B-D on inkscape problematic

[Aaron M. Ucko]

Source: imagemagick
Version: 8:6.8.9.9-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

imagemagick declares a build dependency on inkscape, which in turn
depends on libmagick*-6.q16-*.  This B-D is a problem even when
inkscape is already available:

  imagemagick build-depends on:
  - inkscape
  inkscape depends on:
  - libmagick++-6.q16-5 (>= 8:6.8.9.6)
  libmagick++-6.q16-5 depends on:
  - libmagickcore-6.q16-2 (>= 8:6.8.9.6)
  libmagickcore-6.q16-2 depends on missing:
  - imagemagick-common (= 8:6.8.9.6-4)

It looks like the autobuilders could only find imagemagick-common
8:6.8.9.9-1.  Perhaps the relevant infrastructure (on incoming.d.o?)
should be configured to keep architecture-independent packages in sync
with architecture-dependent packages from the same source.  However,
this circularity would still require manual intervention when
boostrapping.

I'd suggest moving inkscape to Build-Depends-Indep, so that it will
still show up in the delegates.xml on user systems.

Could you please take a look?

Thanks!
