[Pkg-gmagick-im-team] Bug#810591: imagemagick:i386 not configured because /usr/bin/compare-im6 doesn't exist

thanks

  Hello,

  I'm very puzzled by this bug, since, clearly, compare-im6 exists in the
package:

dpkg-deb -c imagemagick_6.8.9.9-6+b1_i386.deb | grep compare
-rw-r--r-- root/root      1745 2015-12-18 11:40
./usr/share/man/man1/compare-im6.1.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 2015-12-18 11:40 ./usr/bin/compare-im6 ->
../lib/i386-linux-gnu/ImageMagick-6.8.9/bin-Q16/compare

  And it points to a valid symlink (as long as the imagemagick-6.q16
package is installed, but as the former depends on the latter, it should
always be)...

 dpkg-deb -c imagemagick-6.q16_6.8.9.9-6+b1_i386.deb | grep compare
-rwxr-xr-x root/root      5636 2015-12-18 11:40
./usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ImageMagick-6.8.9/bin-Q16/compare

  Can you describe what did you do more precisely ? Can you reinstall
imagemagick-6.q16 ? What does

ls -l /usr/bin/compare-im6

say ?

  Cheers,

      Vincent
