[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#808040: octave: bad dependency on libgraphicsmagick++

[Arturo Borrero Gonzalez]

Package: octave
Version: 4.0.0-5
Severity: important

Dear octave maintainers,

thanks for your work in this package. It's really appreciated :-)

Today I used the imread() function to open an image and this message was shown:

error: default_formats: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/octave/4.0.0/oct/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/__magick_read__.oct:
failed to load: libGraphicsMagick++-Q16.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

In my system:

% dpkg -L libgraphicsmagick++-q16-11
/.
/usr
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/libGraphicsMagick++-Q16.so.12.0.0
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/libgraphicsmagick++-q16-11
/usr/share/doc/libgraphicsmagick++-q16-11/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/libgraphicsmagick++-q16-11/changelog.gz
/usr/share/doc/libgraphicsmagick++-q16-11/copyright
/usr/lib/libGraphicsMagick++-Q16.so.12

So, it seems that somehow the octave dependency on libgraphicsmagick is not accurate.
