I am not sure 8 is mentioned anywhere. I vaguely remember resorting to wikipedia to find out what all these alternatives were about, and I may have read it there. imagemagick-6.q16 package: Short description - "image manipulation programs -- quantum depth Q16" Last bit of long description - "This version of imagemagick is compiled for quantum depth of 16 bits." imagemagick package: Short description - "image manipulation programs -- binaries" Last bit of long description - "This package include links to quantum depth specific binaries and manual pages." Now that I have studied the package a little, I know what the descriptions mean (and I probably should have read them again before filing the bug :-) ). But anyway, the imagemagick long description could probably be expanded to give the users guidance about which package to install of these two, and later updated when/if there are other alternatives. Maybe: This package include links to quantum depth specific binaries (currently for a quantum depth of 16 bits) and manual pages. Thanks for the fast response and looking after such a beast of an application! Ross
