[Pkg-gmagick-im-team] Bug#1091479: imagemagick-doc: HTML docs broken -- mostly blank page with just a few hyperlinks; man pg gives incorrect info

[Manny]

Package: imagemagick-doc
Version: 8:6.9.11.60+dfsg-1.6+deb12u2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: debbug.imagemagick-doc at sideload.33mail.com

The “man identify” command suggests getting more documentation here:

  file:///usr/share/doc/imagemagick-6-common/html/www/identify.html
or
  https://www.imagemagick.org/script/identify.php

Local links are preferable because we should not need a network to get
docs. But the HTML is broken. There is just a wand icon followed by:

  *  Home (current)
  *  Download
  *  Tools
  *  Command-line
  *  Develop
  *  Community
  *  Sponsor

That’s it. Nothing else. The rest of the page is blank in Firefox
128.5.0esr. Hitting control-u to view the source shows there is some
useful info in there, but the useful text does not render.

The external link on imagemagick.org works fine. But that’s not ideal
because it depends on the internet which defeats the purpose of
imagemagick-doc.

I only checked the Identify docs. It’s likely the same problem for other docs.

Note as well the man page mentions the option “-extract geometry”, but
that’s obviously quite wrong. There is no -extract option for
identify. Other options listed on the man page look suspect too.

In the end, I was forced to use the network to get the info I needed.
