Summary: I think I ended up with 2 logic streams updating libmagick (yeah I
know), and when one completed, the other didn't find anything to update. The
following dlg appeared.
Boring details: I attempted to view a YouTube.com video (on GNU parallel
script processing if it matters). At the web page, it said that I
needed to install Adobe Flash viewer... okay, I authorized that and
waited for the download to complete. While this was downloading (this
is dumb but I did it), I selected 'System->Administration -> Update
Manager" and it wanted to update libmagick and several other things.
Back to YouTube, it wanted to install something else, which I agreed to,
then gave a message "Unable to get exclusive lock" etc. I let that wait
for the Update Manager to complete. While Update Manager was finishing,
a new dlg popped up wanting to install libmagick, which I also let wait.
Update Manager completed and wanted to reboot, and a dlg popped up:
An internal system error has occurred
A problem that we were not expecting has occurred.

Despite my doing something I probably shouldn't have, it all seemed to
install correctly ... but the above message seems to be a minor boo-boo.
