That's a known effect from Google watching people digging in the web. But maybe this time it's only the search string. I entered attempt to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy `PS' At the same input now i get indeed a link to a Python problem that caused Imagemagick's "import" to be run by mistake and to issue the policy message. But the vast majority still points to the configuration in /etc/ImageMagick-[67]/policy.xml This here looks like a quite educated description of the PS refusal: https://en.linuxportal.info/tutorials/troubleshooting/how-to-fix-errors-from-imagemagick-imagick-conversion-system-security-policy ending with "The cause of the problem [...] A vulnerability was found in the program, which was first remedied by disabling access to the file formats in question in the config file above. Later, the bug was fixed correctly, a security update was released, but the security rules were not restored. [...] https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/imagemagick [...] CVE-2019-13300, CVE-2019-13304, CVE-2019-13306, CVE-2019-13307, CVE-2019-15140, CVE-2019-19948" Have a nice day :) Thomas
