> As part of the 64-bit time_t transition required to support 32-bit
> architectures in 2038 and beyond
> (https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/64bit-time), we have identified
> imagemagick as a source package shipping runtime libraries whose ABI
> either is affected by the change in size of time_t, or could not be
> analyzed via abi-compliance-checker (and therefore to be on the safe
> side we assume is affected).
>
> To ensure that inconsistent combinations of libraries with their
> reverse-dependencies are never installed together, it is necessary to
> have a library transition, which is most easily done by renaming the
> runtime library package.
>
> Since turning on 64-bit time_t is being handled centrally through a change
> to the default dpkg-buildflags (https://bugs.debian.org/1037136), it is
> important that libraries affected by this ABI change all be uploaded close
> together in time.  Therefore I have prepared a 0-day NMU for imagemagick
> which will initially be uploaded to experimental if possible, then to
> unstable after packages have cleared binary NEW.
>
> Please find the patch for this NMU attached.
>
> If you have any concerns about this patch, please reach out ASAP.  Although
> this package will be uploaded to experimental immediately, there will be a
> period of several days before we begin uploads to unstable; so if information
> becomes available that your package should not be included in the transition,
> there is time for us to amend the planned uploads.
