reassign 966436 src:imagemagick
found 966436 8:6.9.11.24+dfsg-1n
retitle scrambled property in identify -verbose output
affects 966436 ruby-mini-magick
thanks


ruby-mini-magick relies (too) heavily on a parsing of output of
imagemagick tools like identify.
The issue discussed here is caused by a change in the output of the
`identify -verbose` command from the version in testing
(8:6.9.10.23+dfsg-2.1+b2) and unstable (8:6.9.11.24+dfsg-1).

Attached are the corresponding outputs of the above command on the file
from ruby-mini-magick specs (spec/fixtures/clipping_path.jpg).

In the "unstable" version, the field Properties: has first subfield (on
line 96) with a strange name, which makes regexp filtering from
ruby-mini-magick choke. The content seems to be the same as the
"Clipping path:" field.

This subfield does not appear in the version of testing.

It is mentionned as a warning on newer versions of ruby-mini-magick that
the `details` method reading the output of `identify -verbose` in a
specific way, has become unreliable for newer versions of ImageMagick.
I am therefore disabling the corresping test in that code.

However, I believe that the output of identify -verbose should not
contain such cryptic field names, therefore, I am reassigning the but to
imagemagick package.

Thanks,

Cédric
