[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#481399: octave-image: please allow classic ImageMagick

Package: octave-image
Version: 1.0.6-1
Severity: important

octave-image now depends on graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat, which
in turn conflicts with classic imagemagick.  AFAICT offhand, either
implementation should suffice for its purposes, so I would recommend
adjusting the dependency accordingly; because gm-im-compat provides
imagemagick, you shouldn't even need to mention the -compat package at
all unless you need a versioned dependency for any reason.  OTOH, if
you specifically need GraphicsMagick, please instead change the
dependency to graphicsmagick and arrange to run the all-in-one gm
binary directly.

Thanks!
