  I'm getting more and more confused, this really shouldn't happen, since
imagemagick-6.q16 should be properly unpacked when it reaches the
configuration step...

  Before anything else, what does this tell you ?

dpkg -L imagemagick-6.q16

  Can you try using apt upgrade instead of aptitude ? (maybe aptitude is
getting confused at some point).

  Cheers,

      Vincent
