tag 810591 +moreinfo thanks Hello,
I'm very puzzled by this bug, since, clearly, compare-im6 exists in the package: dpkg-deb -c imagemagick_6.8.9.9-6+b1_i386.deb | grep compare -rw-r--r-- root/root 1745 2015-12-18 11:40 ./usr/share/man/man1/compare-im6.1.gz lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2015-12-18 11:40 ./usr/bin/compare-im6 -> ../lib/i386-linux-gnu/ImageMagick-6.8.9/bin-Q16/compare And it points to a valid symlink (as long as the imagemagick-6.q16 package is installed, but as the former depends on the latter, it should always be)... dpkg-deb -c imagemagick-6.q16_6.8.9.9-6+b1_i386.deb | grep compare -rwxr-xr-x root/root 5636 2015-12-18 11:40 ./usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ImageMagick-6.8.9/bin-Q16/compare Can you describe what did you do more precisely ? Can you reinstall imagemagick-6.q16 ? What does ls -l /usr/bin/compare-im6 say ?
