Hmm... have to revert that comment, restart on other machines did not do the trick. Only downgrade to 9.18 seems to work for now.
The complete error message is: identify: FailedToExecuteCommand `"gs" -q -dQUIET -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=2 "-sDEVICE=pngalpha" -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 "-r72x72" -dFirstPage=1 -dLastPage=1 "-sOutputFile=/tmp/magick-10621s1dvO7RspXlR%d" "-f/tmp/magick- 10621b5cDfJLDPwtD" "-f/tmp/magick-10621kH6YeBIlijBp"' (-1) @ error/delegate.c/ExternalDelegateCommand/461. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ghostscript in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1806856 Title: identify from imagemagick breaks with latest ghostscript 9.26 Status in ghostscript package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in imagemagick package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Description: Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS Release: 16.04 imagemagick: Installed: 8:6.8.9.9-7ubuntu5.13 Candidate: 8:6.8.9.9-7ubuntu5.13 ghostscript: Installed: 9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 Candidate: 9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 Following command gives trouble: > identify -format '%wx%h,%[exif:orientation]' 'test.pdf[0]' which results in > identify: FailedToExecuteCommand `"gs" -q -dQUIET -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT .....

After downgrading ghostscript to version 9.18 (9.18~dfsg~0-0ubuntu2), all commands are working again. test.pdf is just some random pdf file on my filesystem.
