I also would like to know. Should the following commands provide a list of affected packages? build-rdeps graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat build-rdeps graphicsmagick-libmagick-dev-compat The output is currently nothing at all. Is that correct? Are there any cases where sbuild installs graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat when building a package having imagemagick in its build-depends? Thanks.
