Package: graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat Version: 1.3.23-1 Followup-For: Bug #413954
The ‘cups-filters’ package, as of its version “1.4.0-1”, declares a versioned Depends on “imagemagick (>= 6.4~)”. The ‘graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat’ package declares it “Provides: imagemagick”, but I assume it can't satisfy “imagemagick (>= 6.4~)” interface. Policy §7.5 forbids declaring “Provides: imagemagick (<=N.M)”, so I don't see how this can be resolved satisfactorily. It seems clear the Imagemagick command-line API is going to keep changing and other packages require new behaviour specific to later versions of Imagemagick. So the API provided by the ‘graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat’ commands will no longer justify a claim of “Provides: imagemagick”. -- \ “In the long run, the utility of all non-Free software | `\ approaches zero.
